Acquantances are many, friends, few...

I "know" hundreds of people. So many people am I acquainted with that I am never surprised to hear that familiar, "Hey, Hawk!", wherever I go in the country. We visit, we talk, we cajole, we have a laugh or two, and we part, "until we meet again."But you! You come crashing into my life from out of nowhere like a brawler through a bar room swinging door. Unexpected, un-sought for, not requested, yet here you are, grinning ear to ear, squeezing my heart to your ample breast, daring me to make you laugh, to cradle your head, to hug you. Making me smile at the very thought of you.Knowing what I am thinking because you've already thought it. Knowing my opinion because you've already had it. Wincing at my pain, because you've already felt it. Who are you? Are you me? Am I you? How can we think so much alike separated by the miles and time as we are?I know you!

You are my FRIEND. You arrived uninvited and unannounced, when I least expected you. Standing at the door visualizing the dog's cocked head at your knock. You beckoned fearlessly, not knowing what to expect.You indeed are my FRIEND. I will cherish you. I will always hold you dear. Thank you.

And, "thats all I have to say about that."

What an incredible friend you are too. I've had so few in my life, trust comes hard, but you yanked it right outta me from the git go. I treasure this friendship. Thank you

Hugs and kisses,
Kris
