Who Do You Consider Your Closest Friends?

Many of us here have the need to have friends. Many of us might even feel that it is important to have friends in all realms of work, or life that we are experiencing at the time. This could be friends that are really just mere acquaintances we really would never get together with outside of work, or friends we make due to working with them getting together outside of work, or the ones we meet and stay friends with no matter what for many yrs. Looking back I would say I have a lot of different types of friends, and many I know I can count on no matter what. Many it might not be of Financial value to be able to count on them, and that is OK. I am only wanting to consider someone as a friend in someone I can trust and count on who will be there for support when things are not going well, and many times just to be there for Prayer for me when things are not going the Best with my health as well. I know I have friends I can say have only been my friends for less than a yr, those I have been friends with like around 3-5 yrs, those who have been friends most of my adult life, and then those who I have been friends with since childhood. Even when there might be a lot of distance in miles, many of these are people I know I can count on to share a message with, a smile with, and many times thoughts of Prayers as well. Even here there are many people I would consider a True friend if I had to count on them. Do you cherish your friends? Do you take time to let them know you appreciate them? Having a Friend is something special and we can never really appreciate enough. ~~TINA~~
