The Three

Dear Mia,

My three best girl friends:

Faith, Far, and Family,

Visited me this year.

First came Family; although it was I who drew her in.

In my loneliness, I cried out to her for advice and support.

She let me vent my frustrations out and shared her social struggles, too.

Next came Faith.

When we met years ago, I did not know how much I would come to depend on her.

I shared my spiritual struggles with her, and she advised me on how to stay true to God.

Thank you for keeping me on the straight and narrow!

And finally, Far was with me all along.

Even though we were separated over great physical distances,

She stayed true to our friendship

And remains my closest friend to this day.

Family, Faith, and Far:

My trio of best female friends.

Love,

Emilia
