Friends

                                Friends for Life                                                       Bosom friends are rare, and they are there
                                           for us throughout our lives. They criticize us
                                           in private and defend us in public. They are
                                           happy with our successes and encourage us
                                           when we fail. They remember who we would
                                           like to meet and arrange lunch so that we may
                                           do so. When they see us feeling down, they ask
                                           other friends to pay us some attention. They
                                           write us from the other side of the globe
                                           where they are having a fabulous holiday. They
                                           come and stay in our home if we are afraid of
                                           being alone. They are kind without being fussy,
                                           our confidants without being indiscreet, atten-
                                           tive without being possessive, concerned with-
                                           out being paternalistic.
                                           They can be our parents, brothers and sisters,
                                           cousins, a former schoolmate, neighbors, co-
                                          workers, or even old boyfriends or girlfriends.
                                          They can live on another continent or work 14
                                          hours a day, but they are always available to
                                          us.
