A friend is....

It has been 2 years I am living in the city I set my feet now. At first it felt like a flower pulled out from the garden she used to dance around in the sway of summer breeze and  under the warm sunshine that clothed her day by day. Then one day she realized that she has to move to another place where all things are different. There are no more flowers that she used to dance or sang along with or butterflies that came over time by time to whisper her a beautiful story of the day or just sat there to listen. Now in the new ground, she is trying hard to keep growing in her place now. All around her are new flowers with their uniqueness and different fragrance. All of them are beautiful but she still longing of the old times with all of those flowers because they are her very best friend who have special place in her heart, my heart.

Couple days ago I sent short text to one of my friend. The text started with 
"Dear Amy, It has been a long time not hearing any words from you...." and so on I can't remember the whole thing. My bad. I sent it like sending an email but well special friend deserves special way to say " Miss ya gal!." Some time later she the text me back.

" Dear my beautiful sister, I ma lost in my working box and missing the greatest laughing ever. I thought all of you guys are doing the same. But it's lovely to know you still care." 

I sent that because I thought of her without any thought that it mean a lot for her and me. It gave me joy. A joy that has a way of working its way from the inside out or the other way. A joy that come from a great friend. Long ago I bought a sticker about definition of friend. It says:
A friend is...
A friend is one whom you can talk to and listen to without judging.
A friend is a shoulder to lean on when you need support, a pat on the back when you do well, and a sympathetic ear when you fail.
A friend is a person you can laugh with about anything, you can cry with without shame, and whom you trust completely.

With that kind of friend we can share stories from the serious to the silliest one and lough out loud seem there is no more tomorrow and make the burden on the shoulder lighter. That what friend are for right?

Even many miles away and many stories missed but as we still under the same blue skies and stare at the same moon, it means we are never apart. The bond of friendship still there waiting for a time to share and care. For friends are forever.
