Family/Friends

Family is supposed to be the best thing that ever happens to you. People who know you forever, who accept your craziness and still love you. In many cases, this is far from the truth. Family hurts you deeper than others because they know the hot buttons to push. Sometimes friends can be like family to you. Tonight, we spent a lovely evening with old friends that we have not seen in a long time, a really long time! Circumstances caused us to be estranged for almost six years. Tonight we sat and ate and drank and laughed together. My heart felt full of love and happiness that we had reconnected. There was still a lot to say to each other. There was still a lot of love in the room. They smiled at the antics of my crazy grand children and that made me love them even more. It was a good night. It was a golden moment ~ did everyone in the room feel it? I hope they didn't miss it.
I am grateful for friends who make the effort to reconnect.
