Any marked (D.M.) are done by me.
When you don't feel that you have to be perfect to be accepted, when you are given the freedom to be yourself in every situation, when you can share your heart without the risk of betrayal, when being together is more important then what you do...that is when you're in the presence of a friend. (D.M.)
A friend is able to see you as the wonderful person God created you to be. (Ann D. Parrish)
We all have needs and strenths that could benifit from friendship with another. (Sheri Curry)
Friends are an important part of sharing the burden and worry of each day. Too often the I-can-handle-it-myself society we live in seems to promote loneliness rather then frienship. (Sheri Curry)
A good friend remembers what we were and sees what we can be. (Janette Oke)
Knowing what to say is not always necessary; just the presence of a caring friend can make a world of difference. (Sheri Curry)
Through the eyes of our friends, we learn to see ourselves...through the love of our friends we learn to love ourselves...through the caring of our friends, we learn what it means to be ourselves completely. (D.M.)
A true friend will do anything possible for you, and expect only continued friendship in return. (John C. Benware MMCS (SW) U.S. Navy (retired) )
