Everyone needs friends. I don’t care how big of a loner you are, you’ve made a friend somewhere who remembers you as their friend. Friends are very important to me, and I consider myself one of the lucky ones, because I have so many good friends. This entry is focusing on 3 of them. I’m not sure how many people can say they have 3 great friends that have had a relationship that has never skipped a beat with, no matter how different of stages we are in our life or how geographically far apart we are , we always stay close. 11 years and counting! Hard to believe, so much has changed in our individual lives that we remain as close as we do. We are all very different but very much the same and I’m not even sure how the 4 of us got thrown into the same circle but I’m glad we did.

This past weekend we decided to go visit our spot’. Everyone has spot like this, a place where you go and take a step back from it all and look on from the outside. It had been about 7 years since we have been out there, thankfully not much had changed other then us being a few years older and many pounds heavier.. We went to our spot to smoke a stoagie, drink a beer and just chat about anything that was on our mind. With all the distractions of the daily grind and our individual lives, it is something that we do not get the chance to do very often.

I appreciate all my friends very much, they all have a special meaning in my life, whether its new friends or friends I’ve known for over a decade, they’ve all influenced my life in such a way that I can not even begin to thank them. Everyone needs friends, I hope everyone has friends like the 3 guys i value in my life very much, if not its never too late to start. Relationships are very important to the growth and maturity of a person and our society, don’t take them for granted, and while not easy they are worth the extra effort.

And if you need be, I’ll be your friend.
