I saw a picture the other day of three girls I went to high school with. The caption talked about how all three had been friends since 2nd grade and now they had daughters that were all less than 2 years apart. I don't have very many friends. Actually, I haven't ever really had that many friends. In elementary I had a lot of trouble making friends at all, and so I pretty much hung out with my sister and that was it, plus my books, and the computer lab teacher taught me how to crochet and cross-stitch during my lunch periods when I didn't want to go play alone. A real plus with the lab teacher was that she lived three blocks away from me, so after I started middle school I still got to visit her every once in a while.
Middle school was just such an awkward time for me, up until sophomore year I try to just block out...so I'm just not going to talk about it now.
In high school I really got to make friends and get to know people better. I had friends, but now, almost 6 years later, the only person I talk to that I went to school with is my sister. Yes I am Facebook friends with people, but that doesn't mean i talk to them about anything.
I do have the joy of having a few very close friends now, and I'm quite happy with my life. But I have always wondered what it would be like to have friends that have known me for that long, a friend like what Husband has.
It's kinda odd, but when I think of my friends I think of my family actually, and some of Husband's family, those are the people I think of when I have good news that I am just bursting to tell people about. My family is always there to celebrate with me, heck, when husband and I were low one of his family members told us that no matter what, if we lost our apartment she had two spare rooms one for us, one for Loki. And honestly, I have no clue what I would have done without my parents and their constant support not matter what silly/ridiculousness thing I've done. I may not have friends, but I have a damn good family.
And to be totally honest, that's even better than having good friends.
