I have some truly close friends, some I have known since my children were tiny tots, some are from previous workplaces.

I am so blessed to have them around and I love the family gatherings we have as my friends are always invited.

Andrea- she has supported my children as they have grown up and they have much admiration for her. She is do mother to my grandchildren too. My rock she keeps me stable and she has the most loveliest family in the world.

Mel – we are drinking buddies and she is also special to my family. We do lots of things together, shopping, nights out and weekends away together. She’s always after advice about relationships and me. Lol

Graham – he’s like an extra dad. Used to be one of my managers years ago but we have stayed friends and often meet once a month we catch up and have a meal together and sometimes enjoy a day at the races. He’s always invited to all our family celebrations. I will be devastated when we lose him:)

I have a few friends I keep in touch with over the years and to be honest I should make more of an effort. 1 month ago

...they’re largely the legacy of former phases of life, and so are scattered around the country and not frequently seen. A natural result of the nomadic life I’ve lived over this last 16 years.
I need good local friends, and it’s not helped by the fact that my work continues to take me away from the area I’ve chosen to live in every day.

The other day, I realized: I really enjoy spending my time with the people in my club. It’s not like in high school, where in one club, I disliked nearly everybody, in a another I only liked one girl, and in another I sat alone most of the time. I think a large part of it is that I didn’t join it for ‘resume’ purposes. I could care less whether I’m an officer or whatever. I joined it to connect with people in my major. Evidently, we have a lot in common! :) 12 months ago

I may need to focus a little more. I’ve got a number of friends and it’s heart-warming to have meaningful in-depth conversation with them and to feel that they’re there when I need them. Want to further strenghten these friendships. 15 months ago
