Carved in stone, friendship.

I don't need to test a good friend, I don't have anything to ask him sometimes, in fact I don't have to talk to him or her several times a week or a month.

A friend feels, does not think, I take it for granted that he is always there, and there is no doubt in my mind that he will never be absent, this that I write is like that, it is implicit.

I can go months without talking to my best friend Janeth, who doesn't even live in our country anymore, because she emigrated, however, when we have managed to see each other and talk, I feel in my soul that yesterday was the last time I saw her.

Although I hardly talk to her, today is a good day to write her a little message that says: "I miss you friend, thank you for always being there, thank you for always listening to me."

I feel her, especially, as that invisible thread that connects us to the aptly named "friendship at all costs", because that feeling is reciprocal.

Good friends are family, which over time add to one's own blood. Of course, there are more faithful friends than even a brother.

Friends are treasures incomparable with money.

The gratitude I feel to have friends who have been and continue to be on the most challenging thresholds that life gives us, gives me a little refreshment after spending days of uncertainty. With respect to life, everything evolves. Nothing is carved in stone. As long as there is life and motivation, there is hope...

Life moves us away and brings us closer with that mysterious and indecipherable compass. Per Janeth and I, we know each other, present in each other's life.

Last night after several days without doing so, we talked by video call, it was a conversation of great and intimate revelations, of surrendering to the parallelism of some of the processes of our lives and of recognizing each other of all the tools acquired and developed throughout our personal and professional experiences and works (we are both university teachers).

Today I am grateful to have my colleague in my life. They have been making roads for more than 40 years now.

I think the best way to express our friendship is with love, affection in the different areas of our lives with recognition and acceptance towards ourselves. In the same way, recognizing the value of maintaining our friendship at a distance has been one of the most fulfilling gratifications that technology has given me to be able to communicate.

I am grateful to life for these bonds with our good friends who nourish so much. I am grateful to continue having the friendship of Janeth, a woman who always inspires me with positive encouragement, that's why I value her.

I recognize her temperance, creativity and resilience. Thank you, my dear Janeth.
