There is something so comfortable about old friends. They have known you in so many phases of life. They knew you when you had ugly hairstyles (or hair at all!). They knew you when you were in the fun kid and awkward pre-teen stage. They knew you before you fell in love and got married. They knew you before you had children (and never had a free minute again). Even if you've ever said something to them that you really shouldn't have (or cussed at them for that matter), they forgave you and loved you anyway. Then you get to see that they're not just your oldest friends, they're really more like your extended family. You love being part of their lives and watching their families grow. Your children get to play with their children. It's nice and comfortable...and wonderful. Even though you make many new and precious and dear friends, there is nothing that compares to those "old" lifelong friends who knew you way back when. I'm thankful that my precious husband met these 2 great guys over 30 years ago in the church nursery. I'm thankful that I can call their wives my best friend and dear friend. I am thankful that they have all been blessed with a good marriage and adorable, healthy children. I'm thankful for lifelong friends.
Much love to my BF of many years, Jen, and her sweet husband and child...
and much love to my dear friend Ang, and her sweet husband and children.
Love you all!
