Sometime in 2004 I met a guy named Ernie (insider lol) at work. He started out as just my manager and ended up being one of the greatest people I’ve ever met! He has also become my best friend.
Upon introduction we immediately clicked. It was one of the strongest connections I have ever felt. I found myself excited to go to work. I couldn’t wait to talk to him, to see him, to hear his voice, to see his smile; you get the point lol. Who was this man that has me going all crazy inside?
Every day was interesting. It was never dull. We always had something to talk about. We even talked on the phone all the time. I could talk to him about anything. All my man problems, finacial woes, etc. He never complained, he was ALWAYS there when I needed him. He understood me better than anyone else. It’s like he was made just for me.
God had sent me a gift. The gift of a great friendship. A real friendship, one that I needed. Ernie means everything to me and I would do anything for him. You know how they say some people leave footprints in your heart (or something like that lol), well he’s one of those people.
He has engraved his name so deep in my heart that no one or anything can remove it. I lost contact with Ernie shortly after I had my son. How sad I was. I lost my friend. Almost 4 years have gone by and I have finally found him! it’s only been two days and its like we never lost contact. I am so thankful to be back in contact with him. This time I hope it lasts forever!
Ernie – I hope we never lose touch again cause things just wouldn’t be the same without you! Looooove you! 🙂

Everyone one needs an “Ernie”. Is it possible you LOVE love him?
To be honest Izzie, initially I was interested in him but he was in a relationship, therefore off limits so I never really looked at like that. But maybe it’s something I do need to examine. Does it sound like I LOVE love him? Just curious lol
Yes, it does. But this thing between the two of you could be way awesome because you are best friends first – and if you end up romantically involved and hanging together for the rest of your lives, you will be best friends last. The lust factor – GREAT – but the friendship is priceless. Have fun.
Well it already is awesome because of the friendship! Seeing as though he is taken, I guess I will have to just settle for that lol. Even though we aren’t romantically involved, I do believe that we will be hanging together for the rest of our lives. Thanks!
I had my “Ernie”…but his name is Bilal…my very first male bff. I miss him so much!!! I’m jealous now!!!!
Lol aww! Where is he?
with his girlfriend…she doesnt agree with our friendship
That sucks 😦 she must be really insecure! Ernie had a girlfriend when I first met him, fortunately she wasnt and still isn’t threatened or bothered by our friendship.
I hope she gets over it and I hope he realizes that you don’t do that to true friends. Any person you’re going to deal with needs to understand any previous friendships you had before them may still remain and they shouldn’t be the driving force that ends the friendship. It sucks that people aren’t grown/mature enough to handle friendships their mate may have with the opposite sex. I think it its all due to insecurity and trust on the behalf of the significant other/girlfriend/spouse
I totally agree…but I love him to much to even stress him…he will find out on his own.
I can understand that
