blessed

friendships can reach many different levels, but nothing is quite as rich or valuable as the ones that can withstand  hundreds of miles, years apart, and all the crazy things life throws at us.  and how sweet it is when we have the opportunity to drop everything, even for a few short days to come together again.  to laugh until my mouth is cemented into a permanent smile, my stomach hurts, and it looks like i'm really crying.  to meld back into memories and feel carefree with the whole world before us.  to see how much we've changed, where we've been, and just enjoy the fact that some things in life don't seem to change at that much after all.  to stay up past midnight talking but somehow feeling so refreshed when the weekend is over.  friendship is a blessing.
