What Best Friends Do

Blessed is one who marries a best friend...

After years and years together, the ultimate compliment silver-haired lover's smile upon each other is "We were best friends". We may no longer play the same sports or enjoy the same hobbies, but we do delight in each other's company. We love being able to call across the house and know that special person is there, that we can be ourselves and not have to make any kind of impression because our partner accepts us for who we are as a whole, not as bits and pieces. We can fight or be apathetic. We can sit together without having to make conversation. We can listen to each other without needing any special point in our talking. We can sing or dance together when we have no ear or sense of rhythm, even making up our own words if we forget the right ones.
That's friendship, that's love, that's life's gift to the soul...
