Do you ever meet someone and they instantly feel like family? Living 3000 miles away from our immediate families for nearly 15 years has been difficult. Without the help of family, you tend to rely on those around you more than someone who has their family near. My family has been blessed with incredible friends in all the places we have lived. But there will always be those that stand out above the crowd. Friends you have experienced life’s greatest joys and deepest sorrows with. Friends you know you can call any time, day or night, and without question, they will be there for you. Friends you would do anything for. Friends who will do your laundry, clean your kitchen, and climb in bed with you to chat when you are not feeling well. Friends you can laugh with and cry with. Friends you trust your children with. Friends, who are so kindred you just feel like they MUST be long lost relatives. Friends, who despite location or circumstance, you know will be forever friends.
I suppose there are people who go through life without the blessings of a wonderful friend. The thought just breaks my heart. I have been blessed with an army of angel friends. My life has been changed by knowing them. When I think of the joy and love that has been given and received over the years and especially during this trying time, I know I have experienced a glimpse of what heaven will be like.
Beautifully said, Jenna.
ReplyDeleteThat couldn't be said any better. I have to admit, you were very clever with that title, but...THEY will know! OX You are the same kind of friend for them for life, too.
