We understand each other and can sense what the other is feeling. Even when we meet each other after a long time, we feel comfortable talking about anything and everything. It's a pity we can't see each other more often, living 3 hours away. But even with the distance, we know that we will always stay close because of the history we have together.
I don't have childhood friends because I never lived anywhere long enough to develop that kind of relationship, but I guess that's how it would be like. You would have grown up together and experienced similar things. You would naturally understand each others likes and dislikes and what kind of characters you have. You would feel comfortable having chats on the phone or asking for favours. It would be a big relief to know that this person knows you and understands you without having to explain too much.
Now that I have Hazzy, I am starting to think about the friends that he will have. I hope that he could have childhood friends to grow up with. I'm starting to realise the importance of the relationships I'm forming with other mums. As life gets hectic with kids and family, it is so easy to neglect meeting up with friends. But if I want Hazzy to have friends, and I'm not talking about just developing social skills but actually having close relationships with friends, I need to make time for my friends as well. What a relief to know that doing something that's good for me will also be good for my child.
