Sharing laughter
Lightens the load
Lifts the gloom
Spreads joy
Unburden your sorrows
Shed a few tears
Share the grief
Feel better
A reunion of pals
A shared past
Tears and smiles
Leave feeling revitalized

Love this poem! I miss those moments with my friends. Because of the pandemic, we are all busy with our own lives but we do catch up through our group chat on Facebook.

I grew up moving from place to place. Became friends to friends who already had friends…
I’ve learned that it isn’t so much the quantity, location, or similarity – Friends are those from all walks of life, all faiths, and all shapes who really care about each other – even with the brevity of meeting only over the internet for prompts.
Family can be friendly, but not all family can be friends… Sad fact. The best we can do is to be true to ourselves. Forgiving our own faults so we can be there for those who really need us, whenever and where ever they may be.
Thank you for being a shining light in the community of writers by providing prompts as well as writing 😀

My childhood and early married life was the same. The friends I made in med school are like sisters too me. We share so much history and even if we don’t meet for months, the connection is strong. You’re so right that most of the family is tolerable, friendly but not friends.
Thanks a lot Jules for your continued support and for your kind words.
