"If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me." ~Author Unknown~ I decided upon this quotation because it shows what friends are to one another. For me personally, when I'm alone, you are my shadow. When I want to cry, you are my shoulder. Want a hug, you are my pillow. Need to be happy, you are my smile. When I need a friend, you are you. I have many that take on these de scriptions from time to time. I'm grateful for them every day of my life. I seriously don't know how many times I say thank you, to my friends, to God even, for my wonderful friends. I know I continually say how wonderful my friends are, but I can't get over how blessed I am to have them. People have told me that they are thankful to have me in their lives, that they are blessed, but they're not the ones that are. I am. I can't stop saying how wonderful, amazing, magnificent my friends are, because when I think they can't do anymore as a friend, I'm yet again surprised. Th lengths my friends have gone for me, to make sure that I'm happy with life, or just to be sure that I'll be ok with something that's going on in my life, is astounding. I completely agree with that saying, "Friends are angels in disguise sent down from heaven." I agree with this because I have never felt safer, more loved, more content, happy than when I'm with my friends, ones who know me, know when i'm lying about how I'm feeling, ones who just know me and how I operate. Also this saying, "Love is blind, but friendship is clairvoyant." Friendship is clairvoyant because friends know when one is lying to them about something. I love my friends with every fiber of my being. I don't know where I'd be without them. They are seriously my shadow, my shoulder, my pillow, my smile, and they are my friend. "How do you measure a year in the life?" In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee, in inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife, in fivehundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes... Measure in LOVE "Remember a year in the life of friends."
