Repeat: Friendly Strangers

I am not writing my blog right now because I want to spend time with the twins before they leave for their summer plans.

Is friendship always a two-way street? Can someone be a friend in my eyes but I’m an acquaintance in their eyes? And if that is the case, can I still say that we’re friends and treat them as such?
