what kind of friends are THESE? 318/366

what kind of friends is this new group I am hanging out with?

these are sunrise

and sunset

and everything in between friends

the kind of friends who will join you in a walk before 7:00AM 

because they couldn't sleep either

or after 6:00PM, in the dark,

because they need to be outside too

the kind of friends who don't need an explaination

but are willing to listen if you want to talk

the kind of friends who trust you and you can trust enough to be vulnerable

with a mutual agreement that whatever is shared will go no farther

the kind of friends who joyfully work together on projects big and small

30+feet of hand tied garland was the latest

the kind of friends who go to NASCAR and ride go karts

so that two young boys have a great trip 

the kind of friends who have been married 30+ years

and still hold hands

the kind of friends you can cut up and belly laugh with

or cry with and be held by

the kind of friends who work together to prepare a meal

and work together to clean up afterward

these are the kind of friends you want to grow old with

because you know they will always have your back
