Sheffield triplets mike Jane and me
Jane is a constant in my life
A former girlfriend from our joint salad days of 30 years ago
She had stood by my coming out with typical Yorkshire alacrity and with true Sheffield pragmatism
She became one of my best friends of thirty years
I love her dearly
Now Lockdown has given us a what's app forum for conversation and We talk every week on line and laugh like children when we do so
She is as necessary to me as breathing x
Old friends are the best friends.
ReplyDeleteYesterday's post: 'Let's look what I have got'
ReplyDeleteHooray,you've come out the other side. It takes what seems like aeons when you are experiencing loss but slowly (very slowly)you find less and less time and energy are spent it and more and more on the good stuff. I suspect everyone has experienced this at some time or other. It's interesting to look back...in my case a very long way...and I can see how the troubled times have shaped me for the better outlook I can now enjoy. Having said that if truly, madly, deeply ever approaches me again I just hope I see it coming!
A life long friend is to be loved and cherished.
ReplyDeleteYou are fortunate
The family we choose!
ReplyDeleteI strongly suspect that you are ALL as necessary to each other as breathing. And it is lovely that you have friends to supply you with oxygen.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a friend to so many, it's only right that you have some gems yourself
ReplyDeleteIt is a blessing to have friends like that.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jane for being you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jane for being skinny John's friend.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet it is to have dear friends who know you and you know them from way back when!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
friends like that are priceless.
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely John I'm, sure that Jane and Mike feel the same about you there is nothing like old friends who often know you better than you know yourself and you can say remember when to and even if you had not seen them for a while when you do it feels like yesterday and the conversation just flows.
ReplyDeleteI should imagine that you have been as good a friend to her as she has been to you 💕
ReplyDeleteOld friends are good friends 😃
That's the kind for friend we need in these times John.
ReplyDeleteAnother girl friend.
ReplyDeleteGood to have someone to confide in and laugh with.
ReplyDeleteSo rare, I think, to have a friend like that.
ReplyDeletePeople are definitely more friendly in Sheffield than us soft Southerners.
ReplyDeletePeople like that can make such a difference in your life.
ReplyDeleteJane is a lovely woman as I'm sure some may have had "the arse" when you came out.When I was young a boyfriend of mine and my friends boyfriend we found out were more than friends and I recall we were moaning about it when we realised.I still fancied my hassan but my friend was quite cross x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to have a friend like Jane.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish I had a friend like that. How lovely that you realise and appreciate just what you have.
ReplyDeleteLucky fellow and lady to have each other.
