Good Friends

It's been a funny 2 days, full of flashbacks from the past.

I was at a club and saw a girl I barely know, dancing to some hindi track. She reminded me of a college friend. A good friend, we'd seen a lot of ups and downs together. Exams, boys, fights, dance practices, tears - I could go on and on.

I happened upon a picture of a school friend this morning, who was a neighbour as well. I remembered so many fun times we shared, getting back from school and talking outside our respective house doors for the longest times, then saying we'd change and meet in 10 minutes to continue our round of talks! She's been through a rough patch of late - but she's still got the same smile and the same spirit.

I meet a few on a regular basis. Some married, some pregnant, some looking for the right girl/guy. It's great to say, 'oh we've known each other for 10 years now!' It's a different kind of special.

Some friends are planning their weddings and I'm thrilled to be a part of it. It's amazing to be a part of a love story that you've seen mature over the years. I'm so happy for them!

I don't see them too often, but those little things that bring those memories rushing back - I'm thankful for. I mentioned these friends in my first post - they're all special in their own way and I'm so thankful for them all. In my corner there's always a special bean bag for these guys.

Even those who don't share my taste in old cartoons. *grin*

You introduced me to Harry Potter and Dali, I love you anyway.

P.S - Oh and I've got a lot of new additions to that list of friends - but they deserve their own post, they have their special spots too.

Yes, I'm a lucky girl.
