FRIENDSHIP

Growing up my mother used to complain I had too many friends for one person. Compare to my other siblings, maybe but I had one friend at a time. I was never part of a group, I always had one close friend. I changed schools a lot(will tell you about this one day) so I made lots of friends throughout my school career.I remember each of my friends very well even my primary school ones.I even remember the staff we got up to,the boys we stalked and all the trouble we got ourselves into-smiling just thinking about this.Flip it was good being a kid.

Some friends where in my life for a season and with age I've come to understand and appreciate this. I remember them dearly and will like to think if our paths crossed again will be cool. Then the are those that grew with me. We developed bonds,cried over lives pains, fought some battles,attended shows,laughed at our stupidity,prayed together,shopped until we had no cash,turned heads and stalked man on facebook ,you name it my girls and I have done it.



Then the are those I never thought will grow apart but  did. For me this where the hardest to let go. If nothing, as you grow you are bound to be confronted with the reality that people change,you change and the is no rule against this. All you have to do is hold on to the memories,not be bitter and thank God you had them in your life even if it was but for a time. It was not easy for me to get to this point but its called growing up. I still miss some of my closest friends but know our lives have taken diffrent turns and its just won't work for both parties.

Then the are those you don't see or talk to on regular basis but when you meet is as though you where never apart. I find that the girls I've prayed with  are on this category. When we do talk we just connect on a different level, it doesn't matter how long we have not spoken. We share so much love, we know each other's business and we have great conversations about everything.

Then the are those I've just hurt and doing all in my power to do right by them. They are still a part of my life but because of  what was said or not said things just went otherwise. I miss them simply because we have so much history and also understand that once trust is broken mending it is not an overnight job.

Then the are my sisters, I have five sisters. We are sisters by birth but definitely friends by choice. My dad taught us the importance of sticking together and boy did we hear him on this one. I usually watch the Kardashians sisters especially when they fight. I see so much of my sisters and I, we know how to fight but you don't want to fight us. We have each others backs so much its not funny. Ours is a bond brought not only by biology but our faith our love for each other and the fact that we belong. We now all leave in different towns some different provinces but we talk almost everyday. I can't imagine life without my sisters,I will do everything in my power to see them fulfill their purpose. I in return trust them with my life. We recently shared women's day weekend together at my sisters' crip. We spoke about family,the man in our lives-they hugged me and said some not so nice things about the guy I wrote about in almost(blog posted 5August 2011),teased each other,prayed,laughed, watched movies and wished the weekend didn't  have to end. No matter what I go through what I've learned is my sisters will always be there not because they have to but because they want to if that is not friendship at its best then such does not exist.

TO ALL MY GIRLS-YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST!
