It’s good to have friends, many friends, all sorts of friends, close reliable friends, friends you’ve known all your life, childhood friends, best friends, friends that call you many times to make sure you are ok, friends that would do anything in fact to make sure you really are doing ok, neighbor friends that give you sarmale when you are really craving some, friends that visit you in NYC, friends all around Europe, school friends, work friends. International friends. Friends you go out with, friends you cook and watch movies with, girlfriends you go dangerous shopping with, friends that say you are like their mother cleaning and picking up things after them. Confidants. Friends you admire. Crazy friends. Crazy lovely friends. Friends you would like to see more often. Actually, most friends I would like to see more often! Some stay, some go. Some are worth it, some show you every day they are definitely worth it. To some you write every day, even three times a day, some you call, some you hear and see on Skype. And to some, and I am very lucky to be amongst them, their mother is their best friend.
So, thank you all for always being there!
