Have you ever really sit down and thought about how your friends effect your life. What kind of impact they have in your daily life?

For me a true friend is a rare person whom I form a special bond with. Some one whom is there for me no matter what. They will be there through the good and bad times. Laugh with me, cry with me and share all aspects of my life. Some one whom I can confide in and know it will go no farther. A person that I would be there for in the same way. A best friend doesnt have to necessary have to see you every day, but is a person who is just a call away when you need then. A best friend isnt good to you to your face and talks about you behind your back. A best friend is willing to get up to mischief with you. A best friend is a person who encourages you to be the best you can be. To support you. Who loves you for the person you are and not for the material things you can give them.

Internet friends are no different to me than a friend whom I see in person. An internet friend is often the one whom I talk to late at night when most people are sleeping. We laugh, we share things about our day, we talk about any thing and every thing. I have a lot of internet friends, some met through yahoo or google groups and some met in unusual ways, like a mishap with email being sent to me when I never even heard of the man before. Through this mishap he and I became the best of friends. Through him I met a lot of other people on a chat site and made more friends. He and I have been friends for about 15 years now.

My best friend though my high school years passed away last year and I miss her. Funny thing is her daughter and 3 grandchilden live beside of my daugher and had live there for a year before I found out she was my best friend from high schools daughter. Her dad was there one day while I was at my daughters. Thats how I found out.

Some of my friends are easier to talk to than others. But that doesnt make them any less of a friend. It just means that I have to work harder to make it a better friendship.

Until next time, I hope all is well in your own little piece of the world.
