Golden friends

My dear friend since kindergarten came by for a visit today. We live in the same town but have a difficult time getting together sometimes. She has two little girls, ages 2 and 9 months. It is great to meet new people and make new friends on life's journey but nothing beats an old friend who has been with you through so many things. We reminised about our parents, grandparents, school and many other topics. Her older daughter had fun playing and I got to hold her baby while she fed her. We have been friends now for 32 years...that doesn't seem possible! One day we will be 80 year old grandmothers visiting about life, that will be interesting indeed. "Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold."
