Friendship

The Friday Five last week was about friendship. Friendship Friday Five.

Sorry -- it just rolls off the tongue.

Anyway, the questions:

1. Do you remember your first best friend? What did you do together? Are they still in your life? My first best friends, for any length of time, was named Lora. We met in first grade and stayed friends through college, to the point of being roommates. We don't see each other very much any more, but she is still special to me.
2. Did you ever have to move away or have your best friend move away from you? Lora moved away after college, taking a teaching job in Delaware. She met her future (and present) husband there, and has since lived in California and now North Carolina. I've had other friends move away, as well.
3. Are there people in your life now that you can call 'friend'?
   Yes, there are, and they are a gift from God.
4. What are some of your favorite things to do with your friends? We get together and talk -- eat -- drink coffee -- laugh -- pray -- share life. When we're really lucky, we go out of town together for the weekend (not very often, but the times are memorable.
5. What is a gift friendship has given you? Grace.
