Memories

Friendships

Life gives you many wonderful gifts. One big gift is the

friends you encounter whilst taking this ride. We have

different groups of friends. We have friends from

school, boarding school, high school, family friends, those

from work, old and young.

The friends I bonded with the most were those from my

boarding school. I was only eleven when I made my life long

friends. Many decades later, my classmates both male and

female have become more like brothers and sisters. We all

share each other’s successes and sorrows. It is however

interesting the mini- groups that are formed within this wide

circle of friends.

Within the smaller circle are friends you share more intimate

conversations with. We've grown up together sharing our

families and sometimes our professions. When we meet we

enjoy ourselves so much we forget we are decades older and

not teenagers. We reminisce and know we have many more

years of friendship ahead of us.

We shared many years together and captured many memories

we can never forget.  The importance of this close relationship

encourages me to hold on to the handles and not let go, as the ride,

though moving fast with some bumpy roads is nowhere near over.
