Former Colleagues

After losing my last job I realized that not only am I losing a job but I am losing some of the best friends I have ever had as well. We all tend to think of family and friends in terms of those people that we hang out with outside of work. I had some of the greatest colleagues at my last job. If you think about it, you see these people 5 out of 7 days a week and you typically spend your whole day with them, or at least I did. One person in particular, Brenda, was my colleague but soon became my best friend. I remember the days waiting for her to show up in the office just so I could tell her about the latest news in my life. The days that she did not come in were the longest and the most dreadful days. I felt so lonely when she wasn't there and soon I learned that my feelings were reciprocated. We were so close and even texted and called each other outside of work. Now that I am no longer with that company I feared that we may not be as close as we once were. However, my worries were proven to be wrong because just as I am writing this she texts me "Miss you, hope you are having a wonderful day!". Now that is what I call friendship!!
