Rendezvous!

Yesterday I had a rendezvous with friends from yester years.. It has become an annual ritual to meet on of the gang member's b'day! I look forward to this event throughout the year. One just got over and I am already waiting for the next one! It so happens we get so busy with our clockwork schedule that we end up meeting just one on this particular friend's birthday.

We have been friends since 1983.. Our friendship has waxed and waned yet the thread of sane love held us together.

This friend whom I shall call Ra(One!!), whose b'day we celebrated, is the Solid Wall in the gang. He is the protector and defender.He is someone whom you can count on when you are in trouble. He offers practical and sound advice. Very steady and dependable.

The next one is like my twin and I shall call him An. Very affectionate..He is a dreamer like me and enjoys books more than I do. Our favorite annual trip to the Book fair bonds us thick.

The next One D is warm and lovable.He makes it a point to keep in touch through out the year with jokes and proverbs.

Ra ( two) can be depended upon when you want to brace up for a fight with the goons!

J is like the proverbial older brother who will roll his eyes at any male who happens to look at me! he is very protective and can be a true mother hen!

N and others are like the links who are always there and can be counted upon.

As for me, I am the only female member currently associated in this annual ritual as others are far away in distant lands... I am the privileged one. Chivalry is high. I am pampered. I am escorted to my car..They worry about me driving home safe. They are always there for me.

We are a chain made of gems and links.. each one is special.we are friends...
