Friends Forever

I have spent the last week with a very dear friend who is going on a long journey, & whom I may not see again for a very long time!. We have spent many happy hours remembering old times & good friends, we've laughed, sung ~and cried,at times past and friends no longer with us. We've shuddered at old photo's & the clothes we wore, wondered what became of people we lost contact with, speculated on the outcome of 'affairs' & liasons past & present, lamented at our lost youth & revelled in the freedom age & 'wisdom' has given us. We have talked away the wee small hours, nodded off mid chat at lunch time ~ then, woken & picked up where we left off. Nothing has been left unsaid or unshared, ~ we have had a wonderful time !!!
My friend left on her long journey into a new adventure at 4.20am today ~ she will be in good company with her beloved husband, family & friends. She promised to keep in touch & will contact me when she can. I know she will keep her promise. I treasure the years we have shared as friends, and feel honoured to have spent these last few days with her.
'BON VOYAGE' me 'ol mate ~~~ bet there will be one 'ell of a party in 'eaven tonight!!!
