I hope you are as fortunate as I am to have them


♥♥



Let one of these quotes inspire you in AT LEAST 10 lines not more than 20...



"A friend is a present you give yourself."
~Robert Louis Stevenson

"Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away."
~George Eliot

"Friendship is one mind in two bodies."
~Mencius

"Friends are the siblings, God never gave us."
~Unknown

"A friend is someone who can sing you the song of your heart when you've forgotten the words."
~Unknown

"Verily, great grace may go with a little gift; and precious are all things that come from friends."
~Theocritus
