How long can a friendship that started young last for a lifetime? How do you keep friendship alive? How much do you have to treasure a friendship? What are the ingredients for a long lasting bond? We were all once young and innocent that we nod and smile to everyone. We say and do things that we ought to without thinking, we were entitled to freedom without getting into any trouble because we were too young to know. "Barkada" a group of friends who get along with each other, treat each other as family.
It is indeed hard to find someone to be with for the rest of your life but what's harder is to find a true friend who'll never leave you through thick ans thin even when that special someone leaves you and even if you feel that your family leaves you hanging out in the blue. Someone who understands and accepts you inside and out. We meet new people almost everyday and some remain as strangers, acquaintances, flings, lovers, but only few become true friends.
I grew up in awe with my mom and her friends, how they've managed to stay friends through time. According to my mom some of which she knew way back kinder days and their circle grew during high school, the most highlighted years of schooling. They are not just some group of friends, they are those who everyone would love to see gathered together since they are all gorgeous and stunning, intelligent and simple. College days came they all went to different schools, it's pretty difficult to find time with your good old pals when your schedule doesn't fit. It's now time to grow up and face the real world, one by one they are entering a new phase of their lives and building their dreams with their husbands. Seeing their bundle of joy but still staying close to each other; misunderstandings here and there and though some are now miles away the friendship still remains. They gather annually with us their children. It's not on how one sees the other but of how one loves the other deeply that these people are not only their family but a part of their hearts as well.
Money and the social status was never an issue for it's the friendship that counts and these papers bills and metal coins are just things but this bond is worth more than that and more than anything else. They have made sacrifices and went through serious trials in life and felt like letting go, how can we their children know what they are going thru? How are we able to comfort them if they keep silent about it. Thank God they have each other, their outlet of everything, consoling them and loving them to the fullest.
