FRIENDSHIP...and what it means .....

[OPIE]

My father had a saying he told me for years growing up, I never fully understod it until I was older.

" A friend in need is a friend indeed."

For the longest time I thought this made no sense, all my friends were in need, they wanted this, they wanted that, it wasnt till I was older and on my own did I understand what he meant. When YOU are down and out and in "need" those who are still there are your friends. Those who are only around for the good times, well , they just arent true friends.

My dad had a name for those types of people to. He called them "good time charlie"

All true, I am sorry I missed this earlier I was out all afternoon sorting out my life too.

EC thank you for saying this it mirrors how we all feel I think, and Baldie this says it all.

It is am amazing feeling that when things start to come together, it is back here to BYC that you want to come to celebrate.

thanks to all of you.

Jena.

P.S. I forgot to add this is for everyone, from Wales.

I look at my friendships on BYC as having modern day penpals. I don't think what we do is so different from having penpals. Having the internet just makes it so much easier to keep in touch and with a greater number of people.
