“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.” ― William Shakespeare
There is no greater gift than to have a close friend in your life, someone so special you can share both your dreams and your sorrows.
It is said that to have a few close friends throughout your life, is to be very fortunate.
A close friendship is formed when two hearts recognise each other, and when this happens, the bond can span across the decades, long after contact has ended.
Friendships formed during our childhood and young adult years, often continue to hold special corners in our hearts long after the friendships have ended.

Friendships end for all sorts of reasons when we are young, often our career paths take us in opposite directions, or we simply outgrow them. In place of these friendships, we make others with people with whom we share a common interest. Some friends we keep, some we don’t, it’s all normal and part of the friendship process during each stage of our lives.
I really enjoy re-connecting with friends from my youth, and have recently re-established a friendship from my college days. I was so fortunate to have a close friend when I was at college, as without her, I would not have lasted the distance. We were young and both living away from home for the first time, poor as house mice and dedicated to our studies.
Once a week we splashed out and bought a vanilla slice each for morning tea at the college canteen, which on my budget was extraordinarily decadent. To this day, I can’t walk past a pastry shop window without stopping to glance at the vanilla slices to remember.
Those fond memories have remained with me for the last 29 years, and with each passing year, become no less valuable.

When was the last time you made an effort to re-connect with some old friends from your early years?
Or have you made time lately for the friends in your life now that matter to you?
Would you miss them if, in the process of being "too busy", they moved on without you in your absence.
Friends and friendships are like gardens in many ways. They need care, weeding, nurturing, watering, and fertilising. Gardens that aren't paid the necessary attention, wither and die from neglect. Friendships are very similar. We lose contact, and there can be misunderstandings as to why the "care" was not taken, all because we got too busy to pay attention to the most important people in our lives.
We can not expect friends to wait for us to make time for them, so be sure to let the special ones you have in your life, know that you care.
