I was just thinking about friendships today, cos my best friend, who i went to uni with many moons ago, seems so busy lately, (she was at both my weddings, and we've been through a lot at different times of our lives!)

She does have two kids at home under 5 and we're on completetely different wave lengths now i think.cos she resides at abuja while i stay in lagos. she came to visit me after my wedding for abt 4 times now. but i only went there once when she call me around 1am sobbing that she wants to leave her husband, i had to travelled to abuja the next day even though, my husband kicked against it because they don't like eaach other right from our school days.

infact, i didn't like her husband too when they were dating but i had to develop the interest when my friend started discussing marriage. she got married and i was her best lady, and Thank God, my husband, then boyfriend supported them too because i made him released she has bn my best friend and i can't cut her off.



and she's busy doing the 'kid taxi run' and working but it's funny isn't it, you don't hear from them for ages, and yet, when you see them, you just pick up where you left off!

she sent me a text message last nite, it reads: keeping a friend is as difficult as losing one, you sacrifice to keep them. i may not have sacrificed enough for you but , In my heart i am keeping you and praying for God to bless you and your husband . greet your hubby for me. priscillia[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]
huh, my only and best friend for the past thirteen years now. we were never inseperable until i got married.


Just got me thinking about friendships, becos, i had no best friend aside her and am just wonderingggggggggggggggggggg ??

And how we change friendships, at different stages of our lives,

And some, who come back, after they're gone for many years,

I tend to be a real 'keeper' and instigage gatherings with my friends, but sometimes i think,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, well, we meet different people in life

we meet people at different stages, for different reasons, i appreciate you, friends.

I think i have too much refection time on my hands , But anyway, i also wanted to say, i've met such wonderful women in here, not just in family, programming, phone but FASHION THREAD,, and i really value that, it's taken a while to get to know everyone, but it's such a great forum here,

bhola, i cherish you and how was the service yesterday

i'm not going to go on, and i won't name names, because there are a lot of people in here who really contribute a lot, but anyway, i'm just so grateful!

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

Am not the easiest person to know, understand or even like
But i have been lucky in friends because i like to keep it real, make no apologies for who i am (never have, never will) and it has served me well
A friend is one who loves you the way you are, they don't try to turn you into a copy of who they are
Measure? hmmm lets just say by actions and words _{although it more instinctive for me}

twinny well said especially that 1st line

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Like the saying goes " A friend is someone you called at any hour and talk without any thought of time in your mind. Similarly, whenever you need support, you will call a very good friend and ask him/her to help you out. he/she expect the same from you. We speak about everything in our mind without worrying about what our friends"

I only have one bestfriend apart from my husband
she's one in a million, it very rare having/finding a friend like that.
We might be million miles away from each other, but she's always in my heart
she's truly a friend indeed

i agreed with u

When the rest of the world has counted you out,

A REAL FRIEND sees the potential in you,who you are to the core.

Your Character,and will not deny that,and will take her stand by your

side and steps up to the plate and does what needs to be done in your life

to assist you so you can accomplish your task,goal or purpose.

Don't really keep such. . . . Do not need such!

When he/she offers to kill for you!
