Friends, Good Friends--and Such Good Friends

I really enjoyed the way Judith Viorst described the different type of friends one may have. I too agree that friends come in many different levels. I have a friend that has known me since I was 5 and when we do talk the immediate conversations are about the days when we used to play with our dolls in the front yard, memories of our 6th birthday, our memories of elementary and we always talk about how horrible our mother's would cut out hair back then. I have a guy friend named Eric who I find myself telling him stuff that I would never be able to tell my girlfriends with such ease, but also holding back on some stuff I know he would never understand. I have my best friend who I can tell absolutely anything too but as Judith says we don't agree on everything that time has passed. I disagree many times with her view points as I am sure she does too.
