I'd like to thank my friends for being so genuine in their friendship, accepting me as I am with my good points and my deficiencies. It's always nice to have family members who love you, but it's, also, nice to have friends who can laugh or be sad with you in good and bad times, especially those that have been around forever, even back to grade school. As we grow older, they become even more precious as we realize more and more how superficial our world has become. I'm always amazed at the narrow vision many people have of their lives when actually the sky is the limit. Let's all tell our friends what special people they are the next time we see them.
