Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait for the answer

FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Where would we be without them.

From our first breath, mind, body and soul were nourished by the family and friends that touched us. Not only did my mom and dad raise me but the influence of aunts uncles cousins and friends all helped to shape who I am. When you think about that involves a lot of people over the years.

I have family that are friends too and I have friends that seem like family. I cannot imagine have no one around to love and support me and for me to love too.

A true friend is one who thinks you are a good egg even if you are half-cracked

I love family unconditionally. Meaning although they do things wrong I love them even if I don't approve of what they do sometimes. It's the same with my friends. Hey, I figure I'm far from perfect so if they can accept me and still love me, I can certainly love them back.

But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine

Thomas Jefferson

We have all had friends come and go but with family even though they go there still family and you love them anyway. I've a few friends like that. People that I've not seen for years, but if they came back into my life I'm sure we'd pick up right where we left off.

It's FANTASTIC Friday and I'm looking forward to a beautiful day. I hope yours is FANTASTIC too.
