A dinner

I went to dinner the other night with a friend.  We laughed and we joked, but we had a very long, meaningful conversation.  She told me things that bothered her.  I told her the things that bothered me.  She told me her hopes and fears of the futures.  I told her mine.  She told me secrets; things that she has been keeping for years.  She confided in me because she knows she can trust me.  I told her my thoughts and revealed some secrets of my own. 

During this dinner, I realized a few things:
Trust is not just given to one, it is earned.  She can trust me because I have never let her down and she knows that I will never let her down.  

A good friend is someone you can laugh with one minute and cry with the next.  Share things only with them.

I have never loved a woman as much as I love this one.  I have known this fabulous woman her entire life.  She is, without a doubt, my best friend, my closest confidant, my life, my daughter.
