Friends
Iffat Zia On e-mail
There are few words in our everyday vocabulary that carry more weight than others. Like, parents, love, faith, death, hate, and friends. It is a shame if you live your life without having some good friends. Friends have an amazing influence. They are people you can talk to about things that you would not share with anyone else. Friends listen without judging you, and they always say exactly what you need to hear. They are honest and loving. And most importantly they make you laugh. Laugh out loud for silly things, things that only fiends can relate to. I am blessed to have some good friends in my life. They come from different parts of the world, with different backgrounds, and yet they know me more than anyone else in my life. The other day a friend called me after a year. She lives in Bangladesh, and thus our distance get in the way of seeing each other often. We exchanged e-mails and pictures, but when I picked up the phone and heard her voice it seemed she was right there. That is what good friends do. No matter how far they are, they are always close to your heart. You start laughing right away, and talk about early days, the present, and share some future plans. I cleared my heart out, and in a few minutes we both felt good. My friends commemorate my graduation. They celebrated my wedding, came to see my first born child, and even when their physical bodies cannot make it, their hearts always do.
