There is a great line from the film, Forrest Gump. Hearing it always makes me smile deep down inside. Forrest is talking about his very best friend, Jenny, and he says...Me and Jenny goes together like peas and carrots.
Peas and carrots.
The reason I always smile when I hear that line is because I love thinking about having just such a friend. A friend to have wonderful, delicious closeness with. A friend to share secrets, hopes and dreams. A friend to share joy, good fortune and personal accomplishment. A friend to share heartaches, disappointment and hurt. A friend to admit fear, admit failure and admit defeat. A friend to experience the deepest level of conversation, the deepest level of connection.
A friend to show the part of you no one else has ever seen. A friend who doesn't turn away when they see it. A friend who will not run from a tough time. A friend who will be there, day after day, without fail. A friend who does not fail you.
A friend to trust with everything....a friend to trust with yourself.
Some of us are lucky enough to have such a friend. Some of us are smart enough to treat them with the care they deserve. Some of us are blessed with the knowledge they feel the exact same way about us.
Peas and carrots.
Indeed.
