She was in the general area for the holidays and we made a date to do lunch on Friday. I haven't seen her since we graduated so I was very excited. We had a wonderful lunch while we laughed over my old college photo album, and then we went to a coffee shop and chatted the day away. Years were bridged as if they were only moments, and I relished the time with one of my most blessed gifts - a lifelong friendship - one that had been from the time we met, and I know will always be.
T brought me this beautiful box of chocolates. They are hand created by a local artist in her city. Each box, each chocolate, is a unique piece of edible art in exotic flavors. She said she knew if anyone would appreciate them, it would be me.
They're beautiful, aren't they? They practically look like jewels, and I almost don't want to eat them. But I am :). They taste as wonderful as they look.
Here's to the sweet treasures of friendship.

"Life is like a box of chocolates."
Sorry. Couldn't resist.
I bet they were as awesome to eat as they are beautiful! What a unique gift....I'm talking about the gift of friendship that can span time and miles as though neither was between them...it is a treasure! enjoy your box of chocolates ;)
What a sweet friend. :-)
Cheers . . . to friendship!
Lovely, lovely posting. :)
I too would love them - and I would have a hard time eating them!!!! How thoughtful and fun at the same time. :)
Good friends are like fuzzy pajamas...they just make you feel all warm inside.
The chocolates are beautiful as is a life long friendship. I have a friend like your friend T we have been best friends for 27 years. Like yours our friendship is marked by some times years of silence but we always seem to have some new thing to talk about or do when we get together.
Wow, I'm drooling.
What a thoughtful friend clew. You truly are blessed. :)
Well, eat'em because you always have the photo now to remember them by anyways.
Or just save the box.
Nothing like a life long friendship.
What a great relationship!....those are hard to come by sometimes.
Enjoy the chocolate yumminess! :)
What an awesome friendship and an awesome gift! I know a chef (local) who has served Presidents and celebrities and started up a small 4* restaurant in the Tampa Bay Area. He makes similar chocolates. They were worth eating!
The chocolates look like a jewelry box. It only seems fitting Clew that you would have such a thoughtful and lifelong friend. That in itself is such a treasure.
Hey....you've been taggged. Stop by for a visit and see what you have to do! ;)
everyone should have at least one life long friend like this. i have one myself. we can pick up right where we left off, it might be months or years, but it is easy and comfortable. truly unique and never taken for granted. have a good weekend. poet
Just sayin' hi!
Miss ya
Beautiful!
Good friends are like bacon bits in the salad bowl of life... Ya gotta have 'em!
I've been 'away' for a while, though I'd drop by and say HI!
Based on the way you reveal yourself here, I can see why your friend treasures you so much. It's wonderful to have such dear, close friendships.
Now, be a friend, and tell me where I can get some of those gorgeous chocolates!
where ya at chickie?
I love stories like this because they're so relatable. I met up with a friend at a wedding two months ago that I hadn't seen in ages. It was great to see them again, but I didn't get chocolates.
