Today I had lunch with two of my very best friends. Over the past couple of years we have, unfortunately, drifted as life took us in very different directions. And having lunch for almost two hours today was like slipping into comfortable shoes or a favorite pair of jeans (especially the good-butt kind!). It makes me feel bad that I have taken these friendships for granted and that I've let life interfere with the connections I know are so very valuable.
And I wonder if they feel the same way. Do they notice we're slipping? Do they realize that it's friendship forever? That sounds like such a fifth-grade thing to say, but as adult women who've gone over a few hills and through some valleys and taken a detour or two--it truly is friendship forever. "BFF" :-)
I realize that as much as it saddens me to know I haven't been a very good friend, there is no way I could do better than I did... or better than I am doing. I acknowledge the role friendships play in my life and how much time and effort I spend cultivating them. I enjoy having a wide collection of friends.
This is as good as it gets, lately.
