Day 12

As I started to write my blog tonight I noticed a post from a girlfriend appear on FB. So of course I checked it out and it put me on a totally different course of what I was to write about. Tonight I am grateful for those lifelong friendships. My parents still have the same group of 4 couples dating back 54years at least. (I am sure that is rare) I am talking about those friendships that started back when you were a child. They might have been neighbours, your parents friends kids or those you met at school. You went through those horrible (yes horrible) teenage years together. You saw them get married and if lucky enough where part of that. You lost contact but discovered it again. You would catch up or just touch base by phone, through children, jobs, illnesses and loss, if needed you would be there for each other....... not always in person. But when things got rough a phone call is all it took.

I always thought it would be nice to have friendships like my parents.....those life long ones going back to your youth. So tonight I am grateful cause I realised I do have that (several) and one of those friendships is with Deb who this year will celebrate her 25 years of marriage to Col and has 2 wonderful boys Tyla and Shaun, and while we don’t see each other often she is always in my heart as I know I am in hers ...thank you Deb xxo
