    Since my childhood I have my sister as best friend. As long as the importance my family has to myself and cheerful and security that I feel for each of them, I reckon my relationship with her is special and quite strong.
    Never is she refuse to share moments of support and enjoyness with me unless she had a realy good reason. When I was child she used to read books for me and play games, nowadays I feel funny sensation that she let me win quite times. Teenager always is a difficult times and she was there been suportive as her nature.
    Her first pregnance was amazing. Not only was I so pleaseant, but seems that I was pregnant with her. Even when was born she continue to be my example. Always cheerfull, pleased with herself, despite of preocupations and difficulties.
    Today she is pregnant again and probabily I will get a nephew, the time is complicated for her, but I am reliable that she is going to solve all her problems with all her skills and talent.
    There is a large number of things that make me look at her with admiration. I doubt if there is someone has three friends since childhood or smile all the time even with preocupations and problems. I wonder if she knows how special she is.

    Tony's opened my mind...
    I have never studied english before and my repertoire for the fiddle was always superficial in terms of styles into the folk music.
    Tony few years ago, introduced me to a better skill on language and music and I perceived by no means the best way to learn then. He did make me open my mind for the pearls and diamonds that would be found and explored on sheets.
    Now I have in my drawer a treasure left by him and never forget to thank him,by the way,my favourite writers are: Edna O'Brien, James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett and many others legendary Irish Writers. About songs and tunes Tony has even presented me ancient things and news from the Emerald Isle.

    As a matter of fact it's difficult to write about friendship, unless you have a best friend. You could ask if it was possible find a best friend in our competitive world. Well, it depends on you only. Although you must have in your mind what you want from a friendship. Helping you let me share my experience.
    I reckon I'm not an easy person, sometimes I'm impatient, intolerant and agressive. Despite that I met Aurea, my best friend. She is by far the most patient person I've ever met. Furthermore, she is supportive and generous. Whenever Ineed she is always there. It's amazing how kind she is. No sooner do I call her than she call me back even if she was busy. It's important to say that I try acting the same way. I could say we feed off each other.
    Talking aboaut friendship, I could say you can find a best friend providing that you want so.

    Hello Marcia. How are you? Lest Christmas I went to Paris and during the visit, at Lafayet Galery, I saw the advertisement in Mary Claire magazine, about a competition and I sent my article that I told a plenty characteres for you, my best friend.
    In general, I wrote something like that:
    My friend Marcia is married and live in Rio de Janeiro, since last year. She and her husband Daniel, invited me to live with them when I arrived in Brasilia on August, 2000.
    This experience were so great, becasuse I knew her good-humor and sensitive with me and her family.
    Marcia loves cooking and creating handycrafts for her house. All the days we had something new for enjoying.
    At weekend, we went to Air Force Club and there we played tennis or voleyball. But, when her team lost, she got angry and frowning her face, whose must hilarious to see the scene.
    Otherwise, she is completly friend of her friends and terrible confidence, in the same time. She saids to me: if you don't want to revelate somethings don't tell me, because I wouldn't tell your secret. But I like her dispite that.
    Vânia

    Talking about my best friend is a pleasure task, because we go back for a long way. We lived in the same bulding and met each other at the playground. I admit not clicking straight away him at first, but we got closer after some years of relation.
    Nowadays, he becomes a net engineer and studied hard for this. I wish he had done Laws like me, but he always prefered math subjects. At least once a week we arrenged a meeting to keep the friendly and to fed off each other.
    Recently, he got a job on a big company, where a great deal of people would like to work. He is acquiring experience and skills in order to open his own business, that is your final aim. Maybe the reason is because he hates working for a boss.
    Well, he has all good feelings we can wait for a best friend: honest, truth, patient. I hope we can going well until the end.

    Nowadays in this atribulated world is rather difficult to go back friendship for a long way. I am a working hard reporter. All of months, I work unless one weekend and I have time to go to the job, but I don't have time to go out of it. It depends on a lot of conditionals like if I had the interviews cons and pros;if the notice was checked; if any authorite will talk about this in the evening. It's not easy.
    So with this stessfull routine I just have time to my husband and he is my best friend. We are married for seven years and we feed off about everything. And now we are waiting our first baby who will be born on May between my birthday and his birthday.
    It's greatefull come home and have a friend to tell confidences about how was my day and what I really think about the life. When I was kid and teenager I used to have a large number of friends, but with the time I moved to different houses and lost contact with them. Actually, even, I change my mind.
    Two months ago an old friend of mine from high school discovered my mobile and made me a call, but she only made gossips about a third person who was my friend like her. Well, I really don't need this to my life! I took her phone number, but I won't call her back. I don't have time for this. I really like to spend my free time to relax e to stay with interesting people who will never lost their precious time saying nothing bad about nobody.
    I think this is the lesson which I will try to teach to my son or daughter, I don't know the sex of the baby yet and I will try to be his or her best friend too.
