When I woke up this morning to take a friend to the airport I felt disillusioned and definitely far away from awake. I stepped out into the cold weather (the only cold weather we've had in the last two weeks) with my chai in hand and tried to wake from my somewhat still sleepy state. I got in the car and drove. While listening to good music and just sitting I was reminded of how great this friend actually is. As we sat in the car it was silent. There was no talking, something I think is so wonderful...when you can just sit with people and dont have to say anything. You dont feel like something needs to happen or some conversation needs to be started...just silence and the comfortability to know that it is okay to not say anything at all.
It seems like I've known this friend for so long when in acuality we've only know eachother for a short 5 months. But what is so special about this friendship is that there is always things to learn and I will never grow tired of it. Its been such an encouragement to me in times when encouragement has been needed. A person who calls me out and has been so intentional to find out who I am that they can tell when i'm not myself because something is bothering me is a person that I truely appreciate and value. And this friendship can only continue to grow.
So as I said goodbye at the airport and got in my car and drvove away. I only took a glance back...but instead of crying which a lot of people do when they say goodbye, I smiled. Such a big smile...not just for this friend but for the frends that I have been blessed with. Because I know that our relationships will only continue to grow and our adventure is just beginning. I hope you have a great flight...I cant wait to see you again.
