Grow old with me. The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which the first was made.

Old Friends

New jobs, new homes, new churches—all bring the possibilities of making new friends. And making new friends is one of the things that keeps life exciting. But there’s something to be said for old friends—friends who have been there through the good and the bad: a wedding, a divorce, the births of our babies, child-rearing, illness, hospital stays, job loss, moving, birthdays, funerals. Friends who’ve remained close no matter how many miles have come between us. Friends who have stuck by us even when it was difficult to do so.

Some of the following may apply to new friends, too, but they definitely describe old friends.

Old friends know just when to call.

Old friends don’t need an excuse to drop by.

Old friends can be trusted with secrets.

Old friends know what you’re thinking even before you speak.

Old friends aren’t jealous of your successes or pleased with your failures.

Even when years have passed, old friends can pick up right where they left off.

A stroll in the park, lunch, or a day of shopping—it doesn’t take much to have fun with an old friend.

Old friends don’t have to ask, ‘‘What can I do to help?’’ They just know.

Old friends don’t only know the real you, they prefer it.

When disagreements arise, old friends don’t have to be right.

Old friends overlook your faults instead of keeping a list of them.

Old friends treat you the same behind your back as they do when they are with you.

Old friends give you the benefit of the doubt.

Old friends have stood the test of time, time and time and time again.

Old friends are like antiques—the longer you have them, the more valuable they become.

Old friends are what friendship is all about.
