A Good Pal Celebrates A Year of Life.

So I have been thinking about friendships lately and I came to appreciate the way time works...well a little. I get impatient, and disheartened by it most of the time, but that's another story.

I have written about Lisa on this blog several times before, and how we stopped being friends, and how much it hurt because we were like sisters, and bla bla bla.

Well, God brought her back into my life and I feel a different connection with her now than before. It's more real now. I love that girl to pieces, and I regret the time we drifted, but we are friends for good now, and I appreciate the 2nd chances life gives us, even when we don't know we need or want them.

Anyway, Raul is Lisa's boyfriend, and they have been together damn near 6 years now, and his birthday was this past Saturday. That kid has a heart of gold and I am also proud to call him a friend of mine. Throughout the time that Lisa and I weren't speaking, he kind of gently held it together, letting both of us know that we were silly for not being friends, and that the door was always open to enter and patch things up.

So, needless to say, I was completely happy to celebrate his birthday with him, as well as take his first alcoholic drink with him, EVER.
Cheers buddy, I hope to celebrate many more years of your life with you and Lisa.

For the readers, enjoy these pictures of Saturday's celebration....
