Make no mistake a friend is NOT an acquaintance and an acquaintance is NOT a friend. When you cross the boundary from Acquaintance to friend ….well…that’s an honor….that’s special. A really good friend is not so easy to find so when you have one …take care and respect that friendship. It takes time to develop a relationship and nurture it and let it have it’s ups and downs. It is pretty incredible that a good friend will be THERE for you (wherever THERE is) and listen to you and pick you up when necessary and be concerned and be a source of help. In my experience I feel fortunate that I have some real good friends and I am a real good friend. I appreciate when someone gives me their friendship. To me it is like gold. They became my family. I can laugh my tush off with them and cry my eyes out with them. A wonderful experience in give an take. I Never stop learning how to be a good friend ….I am not alone. I have people who care about me. I plan on being a friend to the End….I also plan that the send doesn’t come for a very, very, very LONG time. To my incredible,understanding ,loving
