How important is friendship we ask ourselves. the answer is quite simple for one who has no friends - not very important they would say, after all you cannot miss something you have never had. But ask someone who has lost a friend and you would hear an entirely different story.
The beauty of this relationship lies in the fact that it matters not if you are in touch or not, the connection once forged stays on.
In all my thoughts of friends and friendships.... the one dearest are the thoughts of you my best friend ....who laughed and cried with me ... the one who frowned when all others egged me on in my trivial pursuits ... you heaved a sigh of relief and shook your head in wonder at another stunt I survived ..... smiled at my success and shared their own ...saw through my laughter to the tears beneath... you let me in on your sorrow, and let me wipe your tears... opened up your heart and let me in ... stayed by me when all else seemed lost .... was a rock to my turbulent emotions ... and let me hold your hand when no one else knew you hurt ... you could always coax a smile when the days seemed full of gloom and doom ... thoughts of whom still bring a smile ...what did I do to receive such a great gift ? so precious its invaluable ... as I begin another year .. I could not let it pass without letting you know you are in my thoughts ... and how much you mean to me !
How could I honour you my friend ... for all that you are ?... never can I reach the lofty heights of friendship you have scaled ... but I can be a friend too .... and reach out to you!
