When Friends Become Family


Wow, what a truly amazing weekend! This past weekend made me realize how important people in your lives will be there at every single life changing event that happens to you!


I have had so many people in and out of my life in my years of existence. There are some that I miss and some I wish I had never met in my life! Five years ago, I thought I had "friends for life" relationships with some people only to realize 5 years later that I barely talk to them anymore. Life continues to grow and change you in so many ways. I truly understand that by simply living, everyone goes through different changes, but that shouldn't be a reason to not support the goals and dreams of each other.


I was really humbled from the weekend to see those who showed up physically, in spirit or not at all. Of course when the ones you would think would show up don't, it sucks, but at the same time it makes you realize that you're just not as important to them anymore like before and you learn to appreciate and love the ones who do show up. Priorities change, people change and lives change, but true friends will be there through thick and thin in all the changes. I never did think I'd stay friends with some of the people in my life now, in fact I didn't ever think we'd even become as close as we are. I am truly blessed to have the ones that have stuck around for the ups and downs.


To all my friends that have been there since day one, thank you and I love you!
