I’ll be there for you

Another week and another reminder of how awesome it is to have great friends in your life. And I’m not saying this because of the great gift I got for my birthday or the awesome social gathering we had on Wednesday.

I’m saying it because it’s true.

Add to that the fact that we’ve been binge watching every single season of FRIENDS for the last couple of months, and finished the The Last One of season 10 last night, then you might have a better understanding of how close this hits home.

Treasure your friends because you picked them.  And how can you celebrate friends wihtout listening to I’ll be there for you, as sung by The Rembrandts

I’ll be there for you

This is a trip down memory lane as our family are binch-watching re-runs of Friends.  Introducing our kids to the shenanigans of Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Joey and Phoebe.  Every fan of the show  loved it because there was a association with the six of them.  We either identified with them personally or we knew someone who did.  It was all of us, making friends and figuring out adulthood in the nineties.  Our lives and dreams captured in the lives and dreams of those six characters.

The Wife and I still believe there has never been a comedy that could capture life in such a humorous way.  Even though Modern family comes very close.  Besides the fact that we had several LOL moments during every show, it’s also a testimony to true friendship and how important it is to have friends in your life.

I’m fortunate to be stuck with great friends, whom we love more than family.  And NO, I don’t want to see a reunion show, because it wouldn’t be the same.  We said our goodbyes with tears in our eyes.

Here’s to my friends and remember I’ll be there for you as sung by The Rembrandts.
