A Priceless Treasure
Over the years after moving from place to place I’ve cultivated many friendships but there are very few of them that have remained to stay in my life and they have become my best friends. One of them is away at college most of the time so we don’t get to see each other much or spend time together but we keep in touch and the other well we act like we never get to see each other but him and I are like two peas in a pod and so much more alike than people would suspect. But anyway, when I think about the story of how our friendship started I can’t really tell you one because it kind of just one day began and then instantaneously grew into something quite interesting to be honest. He has stuck by my side in this little adventurous life of mine through all the ups and downs and I honestly have no idea what I would do without him because I would be lost. He is truly my best friend and the one who keeps me sane even though sometimes he drives me insane. When my mother first got diagnosed it seemed as if my life was over and nothing was worth the effort anymore. As I went to school the next day although I did my best to cover my puffy eyes and face up, he saw right through me and knew something was wrong. I could barely get the words out to tell him that she had cancer without getting choked up and crying but he was the only person I trusted and knew that I could confide in. He hugged me so tight that day I think he popped a rib back into place which inevitably wasn’t a bad thing and I have become so grateful for the relationship we have. We have laughed together and cried together but above all and most importantly we have been there for each other through thick and thin and it means the world to me. Well anyway enough about that weirdo, when anything bad or tough occurs in your life you very quickly find out who your true friends are. They are the ones that are there for you no matter what you’re going through and only have your best interest at heart because they truly care about you. These are the kind of people that you should not only have but want in your life. They are the ones you need to keep around because they are going to stick around for the long haul. So take the time to make those kind of friendships and to invest in your friends lives because in the end they become a priceless treasure. I hope that you not only like this post but also comment about a friend in your life that has become a priceless treasure because I would love to read your stories. So until next time….
Sincerely,
The Caregiver ❤️
