I resonate with everythign you said here...friendship is such a valuable and rare gift... but when you collect them - they are such treasures!
I am blessed to have so many of my true friends on our teem. It's really deeper than family to me. I told Sam once... "these are extensions of my soul" hehehe
She liked that phrase!
But it's true- when I think of the miracle... i think... I need that part of my soul to return to me so I can say - oh,,, hi, self. You have always been part of me... I just didn't know it
hehehehehe
love you
