Good morning

It's hardly 6 in the morning and I am awake. I should be on my way to work, but here I am trying to make my thoughts fit. I had a great experience a few days ago, and I still feel the taste of it. It's something about friendship. And about what makes it last. I've heard opinions about this subject but most of them seemed to me very objective. I think friendship is something you are involved in with heart and soul. It is not based on how many times you've had fun with a person, nor the fact that you feel good when that person is around. It is not a feeling nor a mood. Friendship is based on a strong determination and life-long motivation. It means to stand by your friend when she/he needs the most. Like a warm and trusty shoulder in a cold winter weather. Right in the middle of the street. It means to love unconditionally even when she/he does not deserve.
I have a best friend. But our story does not begin with a white night spent together or with "things we have in common". We didn't make a list of the "things we like most" or "people we hate". My first conversation with her was about our common Friend. Jesus. And what He has done for each of us. I know that our relationship is based on Him. And I do not live with the fear that one day she will be taken from me (except when she will go Home), because I know that this kind of relationship is one of a life time.
