Transitions

We have people we see occasionally
Then we meet them regularly
They become someone whom we speak with
Then moving on to sharing things we care about
Followed by spending our free time together
Delving into our inner thoughts,
our hopes and fears, our likes and dislikes
The thoughts that make us who we are
This is the evolution of true friendships
The joining of what makes us unique
Sharing feelings with someone who
Is our alter ego and they are yours as well
What a joy to have found someone
Who is a genuine friend

You have gone through the stages so well, Mama Bear. A friend is a treasure, indeed. There are not many people with whom one can share inner thoughts and feelings. I'm glad you are blessed with true friendship.
