It is accountability Friday. This verse comes to mind(Luke 12:48) 'To whom much is given , Much is expected.'

I know i have not said it much often, or reached out to you,

But I will say that I think about you. I read and take to heart the messages we exchange. The tender moments we shared and continue to share. The friendship. All of it. It makes me strong on the days when I feel cold and unsure.

This week i have had to think about friendships: the love, support, the genuine advice I have received from my friends. Of course i am indebted to you. I never take it for granted.  Reading through messages from my friends makes me realize that, I got a good deal. Maybe more than i deserve. The initials up here represent men and women in my life who have had access to my life. some of them, we go way back to high school. One person up here, welcomed me in Form one. She was in the same class as me, yet she offered to protect me from being 'monolized.' Later, I came to realize that, our families and parents were connected. Every time, I raise my phone, I know I will get a warm hello from her. Every time I am in Nairobi, I know I will get a hug(corona or not). That is how sure I am about this friendship. I just wish that, this person feels the same way when they think of me. 

I do not have many friends. Being friends with someone in the above list has given access to free and good advice. Calling to talk just about anything. Since college, this friend  introduced to film. His advice is so blunt, yet true. Having someone to talk about anything is not for granted. I would say my friends have stood the test of time. Some others, we were joined by common interests. We share the deepest of things. intense banter, laughter and the silliest of jokes. I feel understood. Early mornings and late nights.  Sharing fears, goals, and so much in this life with true people is a privilege  the universe has granted me. When i share these things, I want you to call me on my own word. 

To my friends,

I hope I can match what you give

I hope my prayers reach you

I hope you get my cheer

I hope our bonds lasts to eternity

I will give my best.

Love, Wavinya
