friendship is a gift.

Today my mind has been on all my dear wonderful friends that I miss and love so very much. Friends are such an important part of life and all too often we take them for granted. I have friends that are older than me, some by just a few years and others by many years. I have friends who are younger than me. I have friends who are the same age as me. And I learn from all of them, they each have things that are unique to themselves and I hope and pray that they can each learn something from their friendship with me. I have been gathering quotes about friendship and thought that this would be a good place to post some of them. I hope that they touch your heart as they have touched mine.

Just walk beside me and be my friend. -- Albert Camus
