Nearly a year ago, my sister Eileen sent me this email, complete with pictures (my computer program didn't bring them in!) about "friends". At the end, I was supposed to mail them to another ten people.......well, you know the drill!

Anyway, here are a dozen of them:

To My Friends:

If you live to be a hundred,
I want to live to be
a hundred minus one day,
so I never have to live
without you.

True friendship is
like sound health;
the value of it is
seldom known
until it is lost.

A real friend
is one who walks in
when the rest
of the world walks out.

Don't walk in front of me,
I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me,
I may not lead.
Walk beside me and
be my friend.

Strangers are just friends

waiting to happen.

in two bodies.

you lean on me and
we'll be okay

to jump off a bridge,
I wouldn't jump with them,
I'd be at the bottom to
catch them.

paths in life,
but no matter where we go,
we take a little of each
other everywhere.;

to say that when you die,
if you've got five real friends,
then you've had a great life.;

A friend is someone who knows
the song in your heart
and can sing it back to you
when you have forgotten
the words.;
