A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down...
JR and I both live in Florida and we have been friends for over 20 years, yet we hardly ever get together. She lives in Napes and though not the longest of drives from where we live, the timing it seems is never right. Hopefully today the timing will be right.JR is originally from Sri Lanka, but has spent most of her life in the US. First living in Manhattan, which is where we first met and now Florida. I think her heart lies in New York, but her job brought her to Florida. JR is what I would definitely call international. One never knows where she will be next.
I remember one time when I visited her she also had the Buddhist priests' delegation visiting from Sri Lanka. I had quite an amazing time both with her and with the priests. They were very funny and very wise. That day I learnt quite a few things. What an interesting time. They were "normal" just like you and I:)
Life has changed us, taken us separate ways, but we always somehow manage to get back together and the bond between us seems to strengthen each time we are together. It is always nice to talk about the times we shared in New York and to catch up with our current lives. Both she and I have gone through quite a few things and we have shared secrets that you can only share with friends...
In the good times and in the not so good times JR was always a part of my life and today I look forward to spending a few hours with her. As Arvid always says, "with friends you can never go wrong."
Have a good day all and remember, a friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.
Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down...
There comes a point in your life when you realize who really matters, who never did, and who always will...
