I'm not the type of person that has a ton of friends. Not the type to make a friend the first time around.... just ask anyone who knows me. ;) Actually it takes a good year before I sincerely make a good friend. I dont fully open up to someone for about a year! Hence the reason I am OK with not having many friends.
BUT......
There is 1 very special friend that I am blessed to have. Many many years ago, the military brought the Dixons and the Bulars together.... and our familys made life long friends.... had childrenq1 together, and kept in touch for many years to come. Two of those offspring were born 29 days apart, and have been the BEST of friends since then.
My dear friend Danielle lives in Michigan, and I have settled in TX/NM. We have stayed in touch even after moving out from under our parents. Even tho we lead copletely different lives... we can still pick up right where we left off 3 years ago.
She is in college and is in no hurry to start a family.... I am a SAHM who devotes every waking second to my 3 children... and I love the fact that she fits right in with our family, and jumps in like they were her own kids. What a blessing to have such a friend!!!
A friend that doesn't judge us, like so many have, for getting married young, and having a crazy life at the young age of 18 and 20. A friend who doesn't care how much weight you've gained, but makes brownies and devours them with you. A friend who loves you for who you are and NOTHING more. A friend you can/have told ALL your secrets to.
A GREAT friend is a wonderful thing to have.... and it doesnt get any better than this.
