Time, Distance or Silence can never weaken a true friendship.
Today is the World Friendship Day which is celebrated on the first Sunday of August and I wish all my hive friends a "Happy Friendship Day". If you have got a very close friend who can comfort you in every season and storm, then consider yourself as blessed, because they just make our life less heavier, by making life’s toughest moments survivable. For us, the silvery "oldies" from the famous Generation X, friendship is the best relation that goes beyond any commitment - available 24/7, whenever and wherever needed - the unpaid therapist who knows all our secrets and shows up even when life gets messy. Our friend sitting with me above has survived a terminal illness (with stage 4 colon cancer) for more than two decades ( he is a case study in Tata Memorial Hospital, No one has survived this long) and last year, we all friends managed to pull a very large amount of money, to save him from a critical situation like a death bed - without thinking what would happen otherwise. Thankfully he came back alive and going through Homeopathy treatment based on my recommendation, which seems to be doing good to him. Often we complain about problems of our life, but he is an living inspiration for us - every day is a blessing for him. And the lady and my family supports me wholeheartedly for doing all the contributions - anything and everything for friendship...
If you have been following my posts then you know Friendship is given the highest precedence at my home. Even the lady reaches out to my friends, and is quite comfortable seeking their help, she always keeps telling me that I have got the best friend circle, and I shine, when I am with them - the happiness of spending some time with friends frees up all clutters. That's the reason, we try to meet at least once in a week.
For more than three decades, we have been standing with each other in times of celebration and sorrow, with a promise to each other that No one would think of any evil without letting us know - however or whatever difficult situations he may be in. Does that sound like a plan ? At least that's our plan for this life - we believe, friends can always change our world for the better, processing our unfiltered brain and seeing our soul.
For that reason, we have been discussing to even live together after our retirement, but that's only on talks so far - may be we will have something concrete in few more years....
Wish you all a very Happy Friendship Day - there cannot be a better and pure relation than Friendship....that goes beyond intentions.
