who your friends are

who your friends are... Friends are the ones who have heard you laugh, heard you cry, and tried to make each moment for you better than the last. They listen to your confessions and laugh at your jokes. They mean what they say and their honesty is always with the best of intentions. They know your birthday. They are there to welcome new members to your family and stand beside you as you bury those you've lost. They feel your pain and you feel theirs. And they are always just a phone call away when you feel the world closing in around you. They celebrate life with you and are often times the reason to continue celebrating. They support you in all of your endeavors and make each success easier to attain. And they each have their own role in the story of your life. The older you get, the more each friendship is tested. The value of the friends that are there through each chapter is one that should never be taken for granted. I think God put us all here together to take care of each other. And I realize more every day that I am well taken care of.
