“A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart”.~Attributed to Heather PryorMy friend : PocheHow we became friends : I met her years ago, through an ex boyfriend, when i was in the States.She is his cousin.Why we stayed friends : because it is a matter of heart feelings. Distance and years couldn’t earase what we feel for eachothers. Pola and i are closer to each other than my sisters and i.My friend’s best qualities : Funny,supportive, sensitive, cheerful, straight (frank) and she has a huge heart.Why my friend is like family. I would even say that she is more than my family to me. She is the only one who i can call at 4:00 in the morning if i feel in a deep blue and i am the one who will fly to Ohio for her in a 12 hours delay if she needs me. Our children love eachothers and they all feel at home when they are together here or in the States. Pola’s whole family became my family too and we all became close.Friendship highlight : spending (for four years) a whole month each summers, on a desert little island in the Ohio river, living as Robinson Crusoe in a little wood cabine we built, without electricity, drinking water or convenience.The last time i saw my friend (last February), we went for a long walk in a park covered by 50 centimeters of snow.My note : Dear Poche,Thanks for being the faihtful friend you are to me. No matter the distance that keeps us apart, you are always there to share the good and the bad. You make me laugh when i feel like crying and you make me move when i feel like doing nothing.You are the rational one who reminds me to keep my feet on the ground and you always lift me up when i need it. You do not hesitate to drive two hours in the heavy snow to pick me up at the airport, neither to ask me to fly over to support you at a funerals. You are my guarding angel on earth, the little clown who makes me laugh, the funny go lucky woman who likes to do crazy things with me, and the most beautiful flower in my friendship garden. Between us, it is a “receiving-giving” love story that, i am sure, will never end.I can not leave this post without writting my favorite friendship quotes, the ones that really means something to me."True friendship isn't about being there when it's convenient; it's about being there when it's not.”"Best friends are the ones who can be the farthest away but there the fastest when you call.”"I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar". ~Robert Brault"I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better". ~Plutarch"The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you." ~Elbert Hubbard,"A friend accepts us as we are yet helps us to be what we should". ~Author Unknown"A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else".~ Len Wein"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."Thanks Tara for this wonderful opportunity you gave us to write a tribute to our dearest friend.
Your post really brought me closer to two human beings. Thank you for taking the time to offer such a fine tribute to your friend Poche. You have reminded us what a true friend really is. Now you can make a movie about it. :) This is some of your best writing yet!
Hi, Manuela!
Hmmmm, you seemed to have started your friendship with Poche (Pola) in an unusual way, but to have kept going & promting the steadfast friendship fabulously.
Well, I really like your friendship highlight; it sounds like a survial course that I love to have one day by all means.
i dont know exactly how best friend is and if i have had some.im not sure about that.my friends are just the person i often talk with, going to somewhere together, playing game...we are roomate.i have to say that i like to be their friend .we often organize some picnic to other proville and some time just to drink together and sharing our problem.
Dear Monika,
Thanks for your very kind comment about this post. In fact, the topic was easy to write about. There are so many quotes about friendship but i really chose here the ones that talk to my heart.
Very brightly written challenge,dear Manuela,all of your quots are great,I prefer this one of Plutarch:
"I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better".
You are lucky to have a wonderful friend,you surely deserves it.
Sweet Zahra,
Things are so easy to write when they come straight from the heart. Yes, i am a very lucky one when it comes to friendship :) It is very nice to know you also have real and deep friendships. It really add something to our lifes.
I believe that we create our friendships by our attitudes, it is not a matter of words, but a matter of actions and dedication.
Thanks for your comment Zahra, i wish you all the best.
Well-done ...dearest Manuela!
Speechless I am !
You are so lucky to have such a caring friend and I can say that your friend is too.
I do believe that friendship is the matter of being next to your friend when they do need your support ...I am lucky too ...Since I have some friends like that too.... Even here ...I am so thankful to God that He didn't let me feel lonely by sending -as you said-angels to me !
Thanks dear for sharing such a great piece of writing with us ...
I hope to be able to name one among the angels around me...
Have a great time & God be with you and your friend all the time
:)
