A Best Friend...

A best friend is someone who asks how you are doing, then waits for the answer; a best friend is someone you can sit with quietly, never saying a word, and walk away feeling like you've had the best conversation; a best friend knows the struggles going on in your life, even when you have the biggest smile on your face; a best friend will always tell you the truth about yourself and love you anyway; a best friend will stick up for you, do stupid things with you, and will always be there for you no matter the distance life takes either of you. Most people in life, have many, many friends, but only one or two best friends that they will have for their lifetime. I have a friend like that in Tami, though we live close to each other, our lives run busily in different directions with our children and work; Mike has that friend in Larry, who he has known since high school; and James has his friend Nik. Though I'm sure if they read this, they will think I'm totally lame, James and Nik have been best friends since 3rd grade. They are both in 9th grade now and are growing up to be fine looking teenagers. I hope the friendship they share now will continue on throughout their lifetime, through high school, dating, a mission for Nik, engagements, marriages, jobs, children. Life will take them many places, but I hope the friendship they have now will grow and endure a lifetime.
