Friends Are Toriffic!

In the military life, you make friends quickly... and you "lose" them even quicker. But even if  when they leave in the physical sense, there is a lasting bond that will live on.

In my year and a half of living the Real Housewives of Ft. Bragg (Bravo Network- you need to come see for yourselves!), I've met some of the most amazing ladies. But, I'm sorry Miss Jackson: our friendships won't be the type in which we live on the same block forever. And ever. Forever ever!

People leave. A lot.

And it sucks.

But our bonds, no matter how short-lived in the physical sense, seem to create some of the strongest friendships I've ever had. Exclusive to the One Percent.

So, I'd like to share an excerpt from the book The Prophet about this very exact thing:

When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.

So, this one's for you, Tori. Best of luck to you out West! I can't wait to see those beautiful mountains as interpreted through your art.

And I know that whether you're near or far, we'll still be making our climb together.
