Friendship

On Christmas you call the ones you love. Apart from family, I called Julie. In my ripe old age I've learned that friends normally come and go. It's rare to have a friend that's always there and that you know you can trust. Most of my friends have come and gone. Sure, maybe we email once every 6 months...but the friendship drifts off. But of all the friends that have come and gone, there is one who has always been there and will always be there. Julie. I feel honored to be her friend. We've been through high school, college and camp together. Some might consider our friendship odd or distant, but nothing could be farther from the truth. We understand each other in silliness and in silence. She's one of a kind. I'm one of the lucky people who can say they have a true friend.
