“The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion,
who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement,
who can tolerate not knowing… not healing, not curing… that is a friend who cares.” – Henri Nouwen
“true friendship isn’t about being there when it’s convenient; it’s about being there when it’s not.

“A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked” – Bernard Meltzer quotes
“Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.” – Tennessee Williams

Friends are special and so hard to find,
Those that smile and are always so kind…

My friend, I will never let you down.
I will put a smiles where there was a frown…

I hope you woke up this morning with a big smile on your face,
I hope the sun is shining just for you
and the birds are singing their very best songs…

It is the friends that you can call at 4 A.M. that matter…

People come and go
Through our lifetimes, year to year,
Our paths may cross, we find a friend
and hold our memories dear.

When you are sad,
They cheer you up
When you are crying
They cry with you…

Thank you for sending me the things
to make me think, laugh, or smile.
For when I am down
it makes the hurt go away
if only for a while…

I’m sending this card,
sealed with a warm embrace
that I hope puts a smile upon your lovely face.
