It’s so nice to meet up with friends whom you haven’t seen for a long, long time. These moments of fellowship help to make me aware that my life, that I, that we have been blessed with so many friendships along the way - friendships that have enriched us and made us learn so many things, friendships that have helped us in times of joy and sorrow, friendships that make life happier.
Last week, we had such moments with H's godmothers at Canada’s Wonderland and then we were also so happy to have very close friends from Toronto visit us over the weekend here in London. We felt so happy to be with them, go out to the beach with them, engage in conversation, exchange jokes, laugh together, vent our frustrations, share problems, etc. These are what friends are for! How sad life would be if you didn’t have friends like these. … I cherish and relish our friends and our friendships!
Some friends leave us at a certain point for one reason or another. In Facebook parlance, they “unfriend” us or we “unfriend” them. I will just do my best so that these “unfriendings” are not caused by me, by us directly and intentionally. Whatever the case may be, we shouldn’t forget that our “former” friends are still part of our over-all life experience. We entrust them to the divine and wish them well. We continue to treasure though the true friendships that we may have shared in the past, no matter if that no longer continues in the present.
