Gratitude for Good Friends

Tonight I just want to express my gratitude for one of my best friends. Someone I can talk to about anything. And he's the same with me. We were pretty much talking all night. I started texting him on my lunch break, and he called me tonight, then we moved to chatting on facebook and when his internet died we went back to texting. (Okay, I know that some of you are probably wondering who this guy is. We both mutually say that it is NOT a love-interest. We're just really good friends...more like siblings than anything else) I wrote him his whole mission, he wrote me my whole mission. I watched him grow on the mission, he watched me grow on the mission. And we've always been there for the other. Back before he left, going on 4 years ago now, we talked regularly. He gave me boy advice, I gave him girl advice. Then he went on his mission, and we switched to letters for 3 1/2 years. This was the first real conversation we've had. And it was right back to the same old same old. I gave him girl advice...though didn't ask for/want any boy advice from him. We laughed and shared some memories. Yes, I'm very grateful to have been blessed to have him for a friend.
