The Value of Friendship

People come and go in life but a true friend is forever. You can count on them. They are your cheerleaders, wishing you the best and giving support in any way they can. They have your back.

 They show up physically, mentally and emotionally through thick and thin. You are a priority in their life. These are the positive people, mature, agreeable and reasonably well adjusted, who build you up rather than tear you down. They “get you”, because they have empathy and compassion and are willing to care.

 They go out of their way to make your day a little brighter, whether it’s wearing a smile or bringing a small gift or pleasant thought or researching something that will be helpful or spending quality time doing a playful activity or making you laugh and feel joy just being around them.

 Friends are the stuff that describe legendary heroes, at least mine are! They are brave, stalwart, selfless, empowering, loving, patient, kind, trustworthy, respectful and the wind beneath your wings.

 They raise the bar for what it means to be human.
