They say you can't choose your family (not that I would swap mine I love my sisters) but friends is a whole different kettle of fish! I have a couple of very close friends that I have known and loved for over 40 years! We all live in different states nowadays so keep in touch with phone calls, emails etc(used to be by snail mail once!). and now we never let too many days go by without contacting each other via sms or other.ways. We met in Port Moresby in the mid 60's where we worked and joined a squash club where we were members. (our husband's jobs took us to PNG in the first place .) It is the kind of friendship that we cry together if one of us has something "bad" happen and laugh when things are great. We all have grandchildren now, and though we have never met the little ones, we feel like they are part of our families too. We swap pics and ofcourse "brag" about the latest cute thing one of them has done.
Thanks for posting this, it is lovely to share how I feel about my friends.
