“I think if Ive learned anything about friendship, its to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Dont walk away, dont be distracted, dont be too busy or tired, dont take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.” ― Jon Katz “When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. 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 curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.” ― Henri J.M. Nouwen Ive been thinking about friendships this week, and in a failed effort to form my own words, I came across these two quotes. The other day Heidi posted a link to my wall that made me ugly cry, and I have to say that these quotes sum up how I feel about her. Our road has not always been easy, but if it was, it wouldnt mean nearly as much to me. True friendship is filled with trials and bumps along the way, but there is also a tremendous amount of love and respect. The best things in life are worth fighting for, and Ill be forever grateful that you were placed in my life 12 years ago. I love you big big!
