When I think of all of the friends I know and have known in this lifetime, each one of them has left an imprint. A deep mark that has altered the way I see the world. I am forever changed by the people who have shared moments with me and stayed with me to say "its ok, you'll get through it, tomorrow is a new day."
You never know what you are going to get from a friend, what gift, realization or insight they are going to offer that will open up a new world of opportunity inside of you. But what you can bet on is that they will always be there, regardless if its too late too early, too cold or to wet. Friends never need a reason to be because they just are, forever and always.
