Friendship

Where I write my Norwegian blog http://www.vgb.no/7641 we get themes to write about each week.
This week the theme is friendship:

I have a quote I really like. I found it in a Norwegian paper, Aftenposten (EveningMail) 3. desember 1996.
It is said about a famous person, Olav Hestnes, but I can't recall who said it.

"He was the kind of friend you don't see very often, and for long periods of time you don't hear anything from him, men in his absence you always sence his closeness. It was always easy to reconnect with him. Every meeting continued where the last one left of. The conversation was a lifelong project, just like the friendship. That is why the conversation could endure such long breaks. When you sat down at the table again it was like no time had passed"

Friends - friendship has nothing to do with high meetingfrequency or geographic closeness.
Friends come and go our intire life. Some disappear for a while and come back again.
Some are here for only a short time, some for longer periods.
Some you meet in real life, some on the net.

A friend is a person you like to spend time with, for a short or for a long time.
