Friends
I am blessed to have some good friends in my life. They come from different parts of the world, with different backgrounds, and yet they know me more than anyone else in my life.
The other day a friend called me after a year. She lives in Bangladesh, and thus our distance get in the way of seeing each other often. We exchanged e-mails and pictures, but when I picked up the phone and heard her voice it seemed she was right there.
That is what good friends do. No matter how far they are, they are always close to your heart. You start laughing right away, and talk about early days, the present, and share some future plans. I cleared my heart out, and in a few minutes we both felt good. My friends commemorate my graduation. They celebrated my wedding, came to see my first born child, and even when their physical bodies cannot make it, their hearts always do.
