We are still on the topic of friends.
Today I bring you the story of another great friend. This story is about a girl we've been friends for about 20 to 23 years now if not more ,it's a short story . I have one more story to share about friends.
MY LONGEST FRIEND
This girl has been in my life for as long as I've known my own name. We started out as church members then playmates at the same creche , many who we all played together have either grown distant being caught up in the activities that life laid out for them while some have checked into the great beyond ,the death of one of our own was great loss and remainder that we only live once and that we should all cherish and make use of the little time allotted to you . The woman who owned the creche loved us dearly and took us as her own babies , even saying that she can't wait for us to grow up and get married and give her grandkids. She was a sweet soul, unfortunately life had other plans as I don't think she lived to see any of us have kids before life closed it's Chapter on her, I pray she continues to rest well .We grew and were admitted into the nursery school ,we went further to be in the same elementary school and the friendship waxed strong, some said that middle school and high school will determine if the friendship would continue and it did even though we were in different classes. Unfortunately we were admitted to different universities and at different times and even that didn't stop the friendship. We've been there for each other as true friends should and I pray that we continue being there for each other. In recent times there's been some unpleasant times for you but I'm glad that I helped out the little way that I could, I pray that if ever I'm in a situation of need that you will also help me.
My dear friend I'm writing this story about you as a show of appreciation ,I hope as we age circumstances and distance won't separate us as it hasn't done so so far.
