I love this list. Such simple things and yet all so true. These things and more are so so special.
But bacon would be awesome too!
It’s great to have all types of friends, glad you have them. I had bacon this morning and thought of you ; )
Jacinta- Yes, the list could certainly go on.
Anne- Awesome, but optional.
Jen- Hahahaha.
Friends are so incredibly important. I don’t know what I’d do without mine.
Friends are the best!! I second what Danielle said!
may we all be that lucky to have a hadful of at least a few of these type of friends in our lives!
Textbook definition of a “friend” I would say. I like the “I like having a friend I don’t have to talk with all the time to know we’re friends”. That has always been a key ingredient for my friends.
The bacon was implied, I’m sure.
And yet somehow I can’t stop thinking how it wouldn’t kill your friend to bring along a little bacon.
Imagine if they HAD brought bacon though. Mmmm!
I really just love this – I sent it to a few of my friends who just completely fit the bill
They bring you bacon?
That is a friend indeed.
Sounds like a boy-friend to me.
