I have a bit of wrangling in my head though as to what I should enter as my photograph. I even looked up 'friendship' definitions in Wikipedia and decided that by that definition one of the people I had been wondering about in the friendship stakes, isn't actually a friend at all....!
We have a pretty large immediate family and work every day with a group of 5 people we share many of our daily ponderings with, but we don't have any specific people we would raise above the rest to be 'best friends' Yes, there are a few great people I know I could call on, any time any day, who's phone calls and emails at times of sadness and joy have been a great comfort but even though we live close we never seem to have or make enough time to meet up like proper friends should.
Like the others in the challenge I think my closest friendships are now internet based, some I scrap with and some I haven't even met, but I know that some of the nicest friends I have came from the scrapbooking group Linda formed 4 years ago this week. We meet monthly but keep in touch in between and genuinely care about each other.
As my girls have got older and now one of them is a Mum herself and the eldest one left at home is really growing up and a great support for a moany Mum, I really do think my closest girlie friends who I really miss nattering to if they have been busy or are away are my kids themselves..all so different but with their own special places in my heart..haha, now to find a picture..one is not keen on the camera and the other is generally on the other side of it!
.. and the boys are even good support for Mum (in case they are reading!)

ReplyDeleteA brilliant picture
ReplyDeleteA lovely post Kathi and one that I could easily copy and paste to my blog. My pair are always top of my list in the friends stakes.
ReplyDeleteLike your last sentence best though re the BBF - I too had often thought that but hadn't come up with the conclusion. Thanks. xx
I always find it surprising that although nearly everyone has cameras or camera phones these days, it is nigh impossible to find a photo of all the family together when I need one. I like your reasoning on not really needing a best friend...what better reason could there be?
ReplyDeleteLovely post :)
