I have a friend that used  this saying “firecracker friends” to describe our friendship. I thought what is a firecracker friend?  Well  when she explained, I was  blown away! Here is what a firecracker friend is… someone whom you have not seen or talked to in a long time and when you do reconnect… you both pop and light up  like a firecracker! I thought what great compliment to a friendship. Someone that you haven’t seen or talked to in some time, and you are completely able to pick up right where you left off  the last time you were together. We laugh and talk as if time and distance have not come between us. Friends can become our chosen family and we can share so much of our lives with each other. I feel so lucky to have quite a few  “firecracker friends”, and even luckier that this particular friend  taught me that we make each other pop and light up!.Thanks my firecracker friend!

So I want you to remember the next time you reconnect with a friend and you both pop and light up with excitement… then you are “firecracker friends”. Stephen Spurling
