Pulling up a Chair

I've been blessed lately with several people who have pulled up a chair next to me and entered my life in a very special way. Growing up I never really had friends that lasted a long time as we moved fairly often. The longest we ever lived in one place was 6 years and then we would move again. Those moves meant making new friends while at that same time not knowing how long they would continue to be apart of my life.
I'm now at a different place in my life and enjoying some stability that allows friendships to grow in ways that I've really never known before.
So I just want to say thanks to all those special people that are pulling up a chair beside me and sitting for a spell. I hope that I'm returning the favor to you as well.
