My Best Friends Forever

“A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.”
― Elbert Hubbard

Allow me to introduce you to my BFF with our usual gedik pose

Yes, true indeed.  I know that it is not easy to be my friend, I can be loud, cranky, bitchy, busy, busy and busy where most of the times they have to accommodate to my time rather than theirs.  Yet my Gossip Girls still stick to my side during my thick and thin.  

We have known each other for more than 20 years and they have been a big part of my life.  Our relationship is quiet unique, I would say.  At one time, we have not seen each other for few years, everyone were so busy adjusting to our new life - being a wife, mother and career, but when we see each other, it was like the old days when we used to hang out every single day, no awkward moment at all.

I  like how wikipedia describe the value of friendship.

The value of friendship may be expressed as the benefit gained from a friend who is consistently demonstrating any of the following:

• The tendency to desire what is best for the other
• Sympathy and empathy
• Honesty, even in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth
• Mutual understanding and compassion; ability to go to each other for emotional support
• Enjoyment of each other's company
• Trust in one another
• Positively strong, deep, close reciprocity, mutuality—equal give-and-take between the two parties
• The ability to be oneself, express one's feelings and make mistakes without fear of judgement

...and they accepted you just the way you are, even a bit cuckoo like this Hantu Mak Limah wannabe

Yup, that's what we have all these years.  To my Gossip Girls, you know who you are, Thank You for being a big part of my life and putting up with my songels and cekadaks. I love you guys! (sebab aku dah puji ni nanti korang belanjer aku macadamia cheese cake caramel sundae kat Ben's)

 

As William Shakespeare put it “A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.”

Tata!
