We all have those friends in our lives that are few and far between and what's more is how hard they seem to be to find. But a comforting thought is knowing that once we find them they are impossible to leave, lose, or forget. They are those friends who form life long bonds that never break, ultimately becoming the best type of friendship anyone could ever ask for or even dream of having, so naturally we hold on tightly afraid of ever losing them. A fear that pertains to any sort of loss that relates to this particular friendship.
I have the most amazing friend who, at what seems to be the most random times, reminds me of just how great they are. Not that this friend is going out of their way to remind me that they are in my life, rather they go out of their way to tell me the kind of friend I am to them. By doing this it reaffirms my belief in them and in how wonderfully amazing they are.
These acts are done through e-mails, or text messages, or through notes left for me. All of these are simple yet powerful. They don't have to say much for me to feel what's behind the message. I am able to feel that power every time I read them. That message of knowing I have an amazing friend. It never gets old and I'm grateful I have this friend who does this for me. No matter what form these messages come in, they always make me smile. :)
I'm sure it's not hard to figure out who I am talking about but to this person, to my friend, I say this:
Thank-you for being my friend! Thank-you for ALWAYS being there for me and putting up with me! Thank-you for the "notes" you leave me! Thank-you for the encouragement you give me! Thank-you for all you do for me! But most importantly, THANK-YOU FOR BEING YOU!!!! I really did get the better end of the deal! :)
