Friends and Laughing

I got to spend the weekend with one of my favoritest bestest friends in the world. She came up to the smoke zone, sniffling and coughing just to see me. She says she has missed me. I know that I have missed her. I haven't seen her for almost 2 months but we have had to go up to a year in the past without getting to see eachother.

Lenore and I met in 1982. She is the most amazing person. I am so blessed to have her in my life. We have stood up for each other at weddings, comforted each other at the passing of grandparents, celebrated the birth of children. It was fun sitting around and laughing about the cars we have owned and what we had done in them. We talked about when we went to see Bon Jovi, in 1988. We laughed about some ex-boyfriends both ours and her mothers and the fact that my mom never dated. Mostly we just laughed and laughed and laughed. Lenore and I seem to be able to pick up like we saw each other yesterday. Like no time has passed.

Do you have friends that are like that?
Do you have friends that are closer than family?
Do you have friends that make you laugh and laugh?

I have a friend like that. She's still my best friend to this day but she lives a ways away.

friends that make me laugh are about the only ones I seem to keep around. Don't know if that is good or bad

I have a friend like that too. She lives in Big Spring, TX! We've known each other since 1st grade, and when we get together every few years, it's like we never left off (or grew up!) ;)

I do have friends like that. One in particular. I see her two or three times a year. We live in the same city but you know, kids, grandkids, etc. But when we see each other, we just pick up where we left off and we've been doing that since 1986.

What a blessing you are to each other! Everyone needs to have at least 1 friend they can laugh like that with.
