The best kind of friend

[Jess(SO)]

A friend sent me this Via email with the request to pass it on to those who have touched my life in some way, made me smile, lifted me when I was down and to let them know that I "appreciate their friendship." I can think of no better place to pass it on, and to thank you all for the friendship and help you have given to me the last 6 months & to you all


The best kind of friend

Is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, Never say a word, and then walk away, Feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, But it's also true that we don't know What we've been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love, Is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; Just wait for it to grow in their heart But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, An hour to like someone, And a day to love someone, But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile Because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

May you have Enough happiness to make you sweet, Enough trials to make you strong, Enough sorrow to keep you human, Enough hope to make you happy.

Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, It probably hurts the other person, too, The happiest of people Don't necessarily have the best of everything; They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Happiness lies for those who cry, Those who hurt, those who have searched, And those who have tried, For only they can appreciate the importance of people Who have touched their lives.

When you were born, you were crying And everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die, You're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Thank you Jess!!!
What a beautiful sentiment - it sure helped make my day and a lot of that is how I feel and now I can see it expressed in words! So sweet! I especially like the first one about sitting together without saying anything then leaving and feeling like you had the best conservation ever! When two people can do that and feel that - they were meant for each other! (Right Honey????!! - Love ya!)
Thanks again, Jess
