Friends Are A Special Kind Of Relative

They are excited when something good is happening in your life.

They are a shoulder to rest your head on.

They hold your heart in their hands when you are too tired to hold it yourself.

They ask how you are doing...and actually want to know the good, bad and ugly.

They still want to be your friend after hearing the good, bad and ugly.

They make time for you.

They know what hurts your feelings.

They show up with an article that they know you would love to read...which means they are thinking of you even when you are not together.

They have your back.

Friends truly are the best kind of relative...kinda like sisters and brothers from other mothers.
