My mother used to tell me how true friends will last forever. Man, was she right. I have friends that I have known over half of my life. I can go a year, two, even three in between conversatins and its as if we never missed a beat. Then i have my newer friends. Some I met when I first started on the internet in the late 90's in the AOL chatrooms (where I learned to actually type without looking at the keyboard) to my newest friends I have met on fubar. To me, a friend has no requirements. It doesn't matter whether male or female, old or young... I do my best to talk to my friends, help them, listen to them and just be their friend. Friends, my friends, can fill up empty spaces in the heart and in life to make me smile.
To me, they are so special to me. I love them all so much and each in a different way. Each one has their own qualities that make them who they are and make the effect they may have on someone's life.
My friends to me... Are Awesome!!!
With Much Love To All...
