Friend, صديق, 친구, amigo, ami, मित्र, Freund, 朋友

Yesterday we got a call that a friend was coming to town with his daughter and would like to stay with us. His daughter was participating in a math event and so he would have some time to visit and catch up.

There are friends that you have lunch with, there are friends that you go to the movie with, there are friends that you work with or do activities with....but the most cherished of relationships are those that transcend time. Friendships where you shared history and even though life carries you like daffodils on the wind when you see each other again, it is as if you had seen them just yesterday. Catching up on what our children were doing, what we were doing, how our relatives were and the latest book we were reading gave me such a sense of peace.

Some friendships are just so much more than the moment.
