A Friend is Someone Who Likes You. (by Joan Walsh Anglund)
Can’t show you the sweet images inside as they’re copyrighted but it’s all about how lovely it is to have a friend.
I took the book to school in 1961 and the teacher, Miss Grace E. Wagner, inscribed it after I shared it.
A good friend is to be cherished.
You may not see your friend all the time, live far away, but when you’re together it is as if all the time between melts and you pick up where you left off.
Your good friend “gets you”, accepts you, and loves you, no matter what. And you love them right back!
Life events, milestones, heartaches, joys, loss and laughter. Sometimes all in the same moment. These are shared, celebrated or in the case of grief you keep one another in your hearts. Carefully. Remembering. With gratitude. And much love.
for my longtime friend – I love you. Happy Birthday!
“And the greatest of these is love………….”
Happy Bday to your friend!
🙂
Thanks RoSy
That is beautiful, friend.
Happy Birthday, Gail!
I too have this book……one of the few I have kept forever. There is nothing like a friend.
And I love you right back! Thanks Ruthie, my forever friend.
How very sweet!
Love it….. love the class photo as well. That same photographer must have traveled through my neck of the woods, too!
Wonderful post, Ruth. Without friends, this life would be unbearable.
Wishing your good friend a very happy birthday!
What a sweet collection of images and memories today. I completely agree with you: “[A friend is someone whom] you may not see all the time, but when you’re together it is as if all the time between melts and you pick up where you left off.” To me, this is perhaps THE hallmark of a great friend. Well said, lady.
