Thanks, Anne, it's always good to reflect on the blessings of true friends!

My oldest friend, Sandi, and I cannot remember life without each other in it. We DO sometimes argue, we DO fix it because our bond is real, and we have survived like sisters for 42 years. We both know that when push comes to shove, the other one is right there. We will turn 46 later this year and she plans to move near wherever I land when I get my chance to move. She told me that, "We began life together, we've stayed friends through it all, and we should finish it together."

Every single one of my friends is the very best at a few areas of friendship, so I do not have a "best" friend. They're all perfect at what they do and what they add to my life.
