Did you know that January was National Letter-Writing Month and National Thank-You Month? Why don't you put it all together and write someone a thank you note?
I'm pretty lucky. Most of my really good friends I've known forever. Like 30 years forever. I have a friend named Jon who I've only known about 20 friends, but he is without a doubt the best friend I've ever had. He got married a moved away, but even when we lived in the same town we could go months (a year) without talking and call each other and it's like no time has passed. I love me some Jon. Of all of my friends past or present he is the only one I 've felt has never judged me. Never. And I have done some stupid things in my life. I remember once when I was trying to decide whether I wanted to be with a guy, Jon's only response was that he would go along with whatever I decided. And he did. And when what was painfully obvious to everyone else became painfully obvious to me, he didn't say, "I told you so" or "I'm glad you got rid of him" or anything normal people would say. He is the perfect friend, husband (he still gushes over his wife), father, son, brother and this weekend, I'm going to sit down and write him a letter and say, "Thank you."
