Life is full of friendships. Some reach a different level of friendship such as a boyfriend or girlfriend. Some turn into marriage. Some end badly, resulting in no longer having a friendship. Some include your family.
Life is full of challenges, good and bad. But, through these challenges you have friends. Friend- a person who is not an enemy. Friend- a person who acts as a personal support system. Friend- a person you have a mutual bond with.
We may put a wall up, not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to knock them down. To the world you may be just one person, but to just one person you may be the world.
Even though we may change and find our own places in the world, we know that when the tears begin to fall, we will come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will change to the point where we aren't still friends. All of these things define the word "friend".
So, in conclusion, my wish for you is simply this:
I wish you comfort on the most difficult of days, smiles when sadness overcomes you, a rainbow to follow the rain, hugs when your spirit is down, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your day, faith to believe, confidence when you are in doubt, courage to get to know the real you, patience to accept truth, and last but not least, love to complete your life.
Nana, this made me tear up!
ReplyDeleteI completely got what you meant out of that, you know, as you grow older you find out who your true friends are. Well its our senior year, and the friends that have stuck with us are the ones we hope to keep forever. A friend is someone you should be able to tell everything to, and know they won't tell your secrets. A friend is someone who always has your back when your not around. A friend is also someone who no matter what will never let you down. This year i truly found out who my true friends are, and I hope you do too.
