Throughout our lives, most of us had friendships that were constantly changing. The people we hung by helping cover their in elementary school didn't always end up being the same people we hung by helping cover their in high school. After going to college, some people were lucky to keep their high school friends too. I was lucky enough to keep a friend from middle school, a friend from high school, and a friend from college that help me through anything and everything.
These would be the friends that you can stop talking to for months and pick up exactly where you left off. They know everything about you, including your flaws. They are the friends that pick you up at the worst moments, but let you know when you're wrong too. They don't judge you by the stuff you said when you were mad, only by the apology that followed it. They are the friends that understand when you are having a bad day and know precisely what will cheer you up. Most importantly, they are the friends that will be there no matter what time of day, no matter how busy they could be, and no matter how early they should be up the next day, they choose to be there because they know you would be for them too. Of course friendships get their ups and downs, but it's the friends that can put those times aside that you may have for a lifetime.
I know I might not say thank you often enough and I don't always take the time to say how much my friends mean to me, but here's six “thank you” moments for every of you. These are the times that define our friendships.
