There is something very tender about becoming reacquainted with old friends. I feel like it fills in little gaps or perhaps, just cracks that our life has had during our times apart.I have been forever grateful for the friendships that I share with others. I have had some rough spots in my life, and I have had amazing friends that have lifted me in those times of sorrow or grief.
I am also grateful for those friends that were there when I was happy, and they shared in my joy. And most of the time, made me laugh harder than I was to begin with.
I find that these people have been my "tender mercies" for the majority of my life. Though it has only been 31 years.
If I can borrow the lyrics to a song from a play that I adore to sum up this post:
"It well may be
that we may never meet again
in this lifetime
so let me say before we part
so much of me
is made of what I learned from you
you'll be with me
like a hand print on my heart
and now what ever way our stories end
I know you've rewritten mine
by being my friend...
Who can say if I've been change for the better
because I knew you
I've been changed for good"
I am blessed. And I know that for sure.
