A Promise to my Friends

Another Friday already! Time flies.......so, today's topic is Love Thy Friends. Sounds stupid i know! But seriously, if we all loved our friends and treated them with the respect they deserve, I could sell my stock in Advil!


So, here is my promise to my friends:

I promise to love you for who you are

I promise to help you grow

I promise to love and support your children

I promise to defend you when someone else talks crap about you

I promise to be there for you when you need a friend

I promise to be there for you when you don't need a friend

I promise to be honest with you

I promise to trust you

I promise to save you a rocking chair on the porch when we are 80

These are some big promises, but I will try my best to abide by them. There are three women in my life that I consider great friends (they know who they are......) I believe that with love, support, trust, and loyalty that our friendships can grow tremendously. Trust isn't easy to come by with me, but i believe these women will cultivate it well. I am giving up all suspicions and doubt based on other's crap so that I may develop these friendships into what I know they can be.

So, to my great friends......i look forward to years of happy moments, funny stories, inside jokes, tears both happy and sad, and the rocking chairs that await us near the end of our journey. I hope to have all three of you by my side for years to come.

I love you guys!
