“To brighten up even your darkest nights”

James Taylor wrote a fabulous (I just think that word is so funny) song titled “You’ve Got a Friend.” I won’t type out all the lyrics, but just listen to it sometime. I have come to realize that I have really good friends. I feel as though that song is talking about my friends.

They tease me to no end, but in a loving way. They let me come over and just talk until 2 in the morning, without much warning. They call to say, “Let’s walk the dog.” They offer me advice when needed. They write me letters even though I sometimes take awhile to respond. They will be goofy and make me laugh, even during times that would otherwise not be funny. They will call and talk forever without really having much to say. They will watch tv with me after a wonderful QT run. They will take dozens of pictures with me just for kicks and giggles. They will remember the smallest details about my life and follow up on them. They will sit in the car with me as I rant about something that bothers me. They will convince me of things that I need to be convinced of. They will pray with me, even over the phone. They will play made up games with me just to pass the time. They will give me the best hugs ever!

Here are just a few of the ones that have been there for me the most recently.
