Friendships grow and change as each individual will, and the definition of friendship grows and changes with each progressive relationship.
When I was very young, I had been told not to talk to strangers.
Although I understood the potential for danger, I couldn't help thinking that I might be letting someone important slip by if I didn't extend my friendship. In church, I would peek my head over the pews and smile at one or two of the people standing there. Most of the people would smile back at me, and I don't think there was a better feeling in the world. There I was, maybe two or three years old, and I was capable of making adult friends without using a single word. Sunday after Sunday I would try out my smile on new people or launch it without thinking to the familiar faces. Back then, my definition of friendship was broad enough to include the relationship I had with anyone at all who might smile at me.
