A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter; he who finds one finds a treasure ~~ Sirach 6:14
i met my friend brenda through an old high school friend (they were college roommates) and we hit it off so well, we began corresponding and became so close, she was one of my bridesmaids 16 years ago.
time and distance and circumstances separated us, but i always prayed for her and in her singleness, told her God was simply preparing her husband to meet her, that He wasn't quite *there* yet...she was/is an amazing human being. funny, smart, sweet spirit, godly woman.
things moved along and she emailed me when she met her new beau and then one of the next emails i received was informing me of their wedding! i was thrilled and couldn't wait to meet him. my husband and i just returned from their yearly summer get together and he is as wonderful as i prayed he would be and she, just as cool as ever. even with 60+ people in attendance, she still had the knack of making me feel as though i was the only guest that mattered.
i love her, she is my friend, forever. we have an ever-solemn pinky swear that assures us of that fact.
