Best Friends Are Forever...

...Ok, today I'd like to talk about friends. When you are a kid you consider anyone that you play with around your neighborhood or at school your friend. There really are no social groups in the beginning, so everyone fits in. As you get older, say grade school age, the amount of people you get along with starts to dwindle. By junior high, you have acquired your own small group of friends. At least one of these people will have been around from the start, in most cases, and be considered your best friend. Some have more than one, but at least one. Throughout high school  there may be a number of people that you know or hang out with from time to time, but still that one best friend remains. After high school and into adulthood it becomes hard to keep in touch with most of the people that you have known throughout your life. People get married, move away, have children, and become caught in their own lives so much that they don't honestly have time for anyone else. However, that one best friend still keeps in touch whenever they can. You still think of them as that one person whom you can always call on whenever you need a shoulder to cry on, or someone to talk to, or a place to vent frustrations.You still know this person better than they know themselves, and they know you too. They always seem to be there when you need them.
...Friendships like that don't come along everyday, and they should not be taken lightly. Cherish them while you can.When they are gone you will miss them...
