new friends are a wonderful thing.
if they are true and real,they will some day be your old friend.
mary was my new friend at seven years old.
now at 37, she is my oldest friend.
treasure the friends that are true.
tell them what they mean to you.
that is what i'd like to do now.

Old friends are the best of friends. They grow and learn, sometimes re-learn, with you. Happy birthday to your friend, Mary. p.s. I've always loved that name...

I have a friend like that - new at age 5 and still a friend at age 50. your words are a beautiful reminder to recognize and honor friendships - old and new.
thats a beautiful tribute.
Wow! What can I say? THANK YOU Georgia for such a wonderful tribute! I am so blessed to have a friend like you in my life...truly. No matter how much time has passed between visits, we will always pick up where we left off...laughing! You are a dear friend and I am so grateful! Your picture is beauuutttiiiffull! And thank you to all who commented on the value of long time friendships (and well wishes). And may I just add, I feel that the real friends in our lives are ones we have weathered storms with through conflict, forgiveness, grace and obvioulsy a deep love and commitment. It takes integrity and determination. I have that with Georgia and it is a unique blessing in this life. Again, thank you.
