That is wonderful Angie!! I've been through the same thing a little over a year ago. I lived for years right down our dirt road from a lady who I just never introduced myself to. Well, finally we met and we were instant friends.

I adore her and even though her and I went through some tough times together due to a jealous husband of hers our friendship made it through.

She's the one I ride horses with a lot and if we don't talk daily "something's wrong".

I hope you find yourself many years with your new friend and the bond continues.

I agree w/ Mandy also. Friendships close or far need focus on "keeping in touch". I've seen friendships end because the time wasn't taken to care for the relationship.
