How does one live well except for the company of dear friends who are there to share the journey, to farewell you as you leave and welcome you when you return - holding you in their hearts while absent and with encouraging words and blessings bid you well. Today I feel overwhelming gratitude for my friends.
My sister sent me this card today.  "A sister is a forever friend." There are many types of sisters, actual sisters, soul sisters, dream sisters, and all are precious and enlarge my understanding of love.
