Ya know, I don't think the guys could have said it more perfectly when they wrote the lyrics to "MmmBop"..."In an MmmBop they're gone, in an MmmBop, they're not there" How right they are! But whether they last for a week or the rest of our lives, our friendships that we make during the course of our lives should mean something. When I pass on to a better life, if someone just makes the statement "she was a great friend", then I will know that I accomplished one of my goals in life...to be remembered as the friend that was always there when she was needed. To be the shoulder to cry on if needed. To be the friend to help someone up when they're down. To be the listener when someone needs an ear. To be the advice giver when it's asked for and wanted. To be the friend that comforts in times of sorrow or grief....and to be the friend to share happiness and fun times.

So, when it comes to friendships, I try to live by a couple of philosophies that I'd like to share. This one is my favorite one...

"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me and be my friend" -Albert Camus

"If someone is too tired to give you a smile, give them one of yours" -Anonymous

"Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour onto others without getting a few drops on yourself" -George Bernard Shaw

"Take time to laugh, it is the music of the soul" -Anonymous

"There are no strangers here, only friends we have not met" -Anonymous

"The most precious of all possessions is a wise and loyal friend" -Darius

"A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere; before whom I may think aloud" -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The most completely lost of all days is the one in which I have not laughed" -Anonymous

So there you have it...this is dedicated to all my friends...those I know personally, those I communicate with on the internet, and those I have not yet met.
