Thinking about the changing landscape within friend relationships and I’d post this piece again.
Friends are the richest blessings we can have.
When we accept a new friend into our lives, we must take them as they are…warts and wonders.
Our friends must be given the freedom to come and go, in and out of our lives as they need.
Yet, when we feel a great need to share a thought, feeling, or time with a friend we should let them know…especially to let them know we care for and love them.
Some friends are like leaves on a tree, and the time comes for them to fall away from our lives and move on to become friends with others. We each leave a part of ourselves with the other.
Other friends are like rocks, here to stay with us through thick and thin…all the days of our lives.
Friendships, long or short-term, should be cherished and tended as the most valuable gift we have in life.

I agree, Ann. True friendship is a treasure the loss of which leaves an aching in the soul that time never really heals; at least that is my experience.

Thanks Regis. I used to feel really bad when a friend and/or I moved on in our lives and we no longer communicated. Yet I learned to find peace with the loss because I learned that we all have life changes and even if someone walks away because they don’t feel connected then it is best to “let go” which is another piece I wrote. How many times have we heard it is better to let someone go who does not want to be in our lives because it is not meant to be. And if they choose to come back, and we want them back 🙂 then it may be a much better friendship.
