F.R.I.E.N.D.S !

'Friends' and 'Friendship' - none of us would have understood the meaning of these words until may be 3 years or so !

The other day my 3 yr old comes back from school and while talking about something that happened between 2 of his classmates, he showed more assertiveness in saying that his friend (one little girl among them) wasn't wrong and did not do anything :p....
Friends - we always support them, right ? The moment we like somebody and choose them to be our friend, we understand and value friends and friendships :)

I have been blessed with a lot of friends at every stage in my life...some have been with me for a long time and some I have known recently...whatever it might be I have been fortunate to have good friends and best friends, and I know for sure that each one of them are for a lifetime !

I feel proud and blessed that my bestest friends are somebody I have known and been in touch with them for the past 12+ years !!! And every year the bond between us gets stronger and my belief in friendship strengthens :)
When I got married I heard a lot of people around saying that post marriage you will not be able to be in touch with your friends and eventually your Hubby's friends will become your friends etc etc etc...yes for a while i thought that might be true because, back then I hadn't understood my DH well enough :) and also given the fact that I have a lot more boy BFF's than girls !!!! But i feel blessed to say that my hubby love is one such person who ,till date, never interferes between me and my friends :) and neither do i ....and I feel that is the best part of our relationship :)

Today I am thankful to technology and also proud to say that, inspite of my best friends being far away from me, we are still the best of friends and even today I can vouch for them...I am sure I can reach out to them any time I need them :) Yes, I should also thank my hubby for it because he never had any problems with me going out with my friends, or me getting calls at midnight (be it my girlfriends or my boy BFF's), even to this day, even after being a mom, things haven't changed much...all my friends who know me well also know that they can bother me anytime of the day :) and vice versa too ;)

Relocation gave me a chance to make new friends and as always I am blessed to have wonderful people around, it is definitely a blessing to have such like minded people around in a country far away from home and when you are missing family like crazy ! Coming here made me realize friends are nothing but your extended family :)

This post is dedicated to all my friends who have been with me always and who accept me for what I am :) love you all loads....you are a part of ME ! And will always be :)
