Friends With Benefits

By

[success]The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart. ~ Elizabeth Foley[/success] Not everyone knows how amazing they are. Not everyone can see their brilliance. Tell your friends how awesome they are I have friends who just don’t see how beautiful they are, how brightly they shine, how kind and generous of spirit they are or even what amazing parents, grandparents or friends they are. It astonishes me.

When I was twelve we arrived here:  This is Aden, Yemen.  OMG was my first thought.  Actually, no it wasn’t,  I was twelve,  it was much more OMG, OMG, OMG what am I doing here.  I cried.  Of course it was all about me.   This must be the ends of the earth I’d heard people talk about…as in “I’d go to the ends of the earth for you.”  Well here we were. This place was built in the middle of an extinct volcano.  A crater.  Rock, rock and more rock.  Nothing green growing anywhere.   And hot.  There were days when it was 110 degrees and that…
