CELEBRATING FRIENDSHIP DAY: A TRIBUTE TO BEST FRIENDS

CELEBRATING FRIENDSHIP DAY: A TRIBUTE TO BEST FRIENDS

Jul 23, 2024Saira Khan

Happy Friendship Day on the 30th July! I want to celebrate the incredible friends who shape our lives. My best friend, Joanna, and I have shared a bond for over 40 years. We've been through thick and thin together, and our friendship has only grown stronger with time.

This Friendship Day, take a moment to show your bestie some love and appreciation. Whether it's a heartfelt message, a thoughtful gift, or simply spending quality time together, let them know how much they mean to you. Consider surprising them with a lovely Saira Skin package to pamper them and show them how much you care.

Joanna and I met when we were 11 years old and attended the same secondary school. Our lives were vastly different—she was popular, wealthy, and carefree, while I was poor, nerdy, and came from an immigrant background. Despite these differences, we never saw each other through the lens of our backgrounds. Instead, we connected over our shared passions: a love for Duran Duran, fashion, and music. These common interests built a foundation for a friendship that has lasted a lifetime.

Best friends are like flowers in a garden. With care and love, they flourish, bringing beauty and joy to our lives. Joanna and I nurtured our friendship, tending to it with time, patience, and understanding. This bond has provided us with support and comfort through all of life's seasons, making our world vibrant and colourful.

Nurturing a friendship is like tending to a delicate plant. It requires consistent effort, attention, and empathy. Over the years, Joanna and I have supported each other through various challenges and triumphs. Despite moving away from each other and leading different lives, we've always stayed connected. We've celebrated each other's successes, consoled each other during tough times, and shared countless moments of joy and laughter.

As flowers bloom with proper nourishment, our friendship has blossomed with mutual trust and respect. Joanna is the one person who can make me laugh until I have tears trickling down my face and my belly hurting so much, I could burst an appendix! Her humour, kindness, and unwavering support have been a constant source of strength for me. I have never felt alone because I have her in my life.

In many ways, Joanna and I are worlds apart. She leads a different life with different experiences, yet in so many other ways, we are two peas in a pod. Our bond transcends the differences in our backgrounds and lifestyles. It's a testament to the power of genuine friendship and the profound impact it can have on our lives.

Friendships like mine and Joanna's are rare and precious. They are a source of joy, strength, and companionship. So, cherish your best friends, celebrate your shared moments, and nurture your bond. After all, best friends are the flowers in the garden of our lives, making everything more beautiful and meaningful.

Happy Friendship Day! Here's to celebrating the amazing friends who make our lives richer and more fulfilling.
