My OLDEST FRIEND
          Judie
This is Judie......my oldest friend, uh oh I mean longest friend.  We went to grammer school through high school  together. We lost contact until she had her first baby.I took care of her first born when I worked at a local hospital. We have been through a lot of things together. The tragic loss of her husband to my current illness and we have remained friends all this time.Thanks Judie

 friend.....Friend.

My Spiritual Friend
          Mary
I met Mary in 1967 when I went to school for Child Care. We were new friends then and we're still friends now. We lost contact when she moved to Arizona, but are back in touch once again.It's funny how you pick up where you left off as if she never left. Mary is part of my family since she spent so much time with my family. My other friends know my family, but Mary went on camping trips with us amd just was always there in the late 60's early 70's.We also worked together many years in the hospital, so we shared alot.

My Getting In Trouble All The Time Friend :)
ROSEANNE

Just Reaquainted Old Friend...I knew her since I can remember :)

This is Roseanne..... I think I knew her longer than Judie now that I think of it.I knew her when we moved from the city to the suberbs. She was the first friend in my new neighborhood. We were partners in crime through our teen years. I think we shared my first real teenage love, she was there through my tears ad fears. She was so much fun and I always seemed to get in trouble when I was with her. We were "trouble" together but innocently, we were really good kids trying to be adults. She is one of a kind! I love you "Ro"

April 14th 2005-My 58th Geez, my 58th Birthday. All the friends I have mentioned on this page got together for lunch. It was as if every chapter of my life was in one place all at the same time, all together. We had such a nice day. We all plan to do this more often than yearly.

                    Different Friends
I have dear friends, old friends, new friends, and ex-friends.
 
Old friends have been around since I can remember. I've watched  them grow, and I've learned.
 
New friends, I'm still learning about, and getting to know them, and thier getting to know me. We have a lot to share because of the newness.
 
Dear friends, probably know me the best because they understand me, I feel really close to them.
 
Ex-friends, what can I say, thier missing out on a true friendship. They are ex, probably because they didn't take the time to understand me.
 
These friends are all part of my life. I miss those who didn't take the time, but it's thier loss.
 
Old friends have been around this long, so I plan on having them forever.
 
New friends, will be around a very long time, because I have so much more to learn about them.
 
 My dear friends are my strength. They guide me through thick and thn, and they never leave my side.
 
I am thankful for the wonderful memories of friendships. You are one of those friends.
