As I've gotten older, I have found that the best friends I have aren't necessarily the ones that I see the most often. In fact, some of my best friends are the ones that live miles away. I may not see them as often as I would like to but that doesn't mean we are any less close.
When you are at school, the friends that you sit by in class and see every lunchtime are the ones that you become close to, and if you change classes it is easy to drift apart. The true measure of friendship is not the amount of time you spend with some one-you can see somebody all day long at university or work and they can become merely an acquaintance-someone to talk to when there's no one else.
As with most things it is quality not quantity that counts. True friends, you may not see for months at a time, but you know that when you finally do meet, everything will be as it was before. There won't be any awkward silences or moments when no one knows what to say, everything clicks into place and it is as if no time had gone past since you were last together.
These are the friendships that will last a life time and the ones that are really worth hanging onto. The friends that will be there for you no matter what and who are always at the end of the phone, even if they are no longer at the end of your street!
So thank you to my friends, you know who you are. You mean the world!! xxx
