My friends are the best part of me...

As we journey through life, we will encounter various groups of people who will have an effect on our lives. The first is the group that is with us from the moment we are born, and one of the most influential groups is our family. These are the people that we inherit...our mother, father, brothers, sisters, cousins..etc...etc...these are the people who love us unconditionally. Other groups we encounter are colleagues/acquaintances and haters, these are people who have an effect on us, but have little interest in what really matters to us. The smallest group which matter to us...really matter are our friends and in truth we could probably count them on one hand. A true friend...not a fair weather person, someone who would drop everything at the drop of a hat just to help, that person who would give their last penny just to help you. These are the people who we allow into our lives, the ones we laugh and cry with, the ones we share our innermost hopes and fears with. The people with us through the good and bad times, the ones who make us smile just by being there, the ones who can make us laugh when the whole world is collapsing. These are the people who we talk to on the phone for hours without saying a word, the people who take interest when everyone else turn their backs...the ones who encourage us to be better. Our friends are the best part of who we are...they are the people we love and care for, the people who compliment our own personality. They are the people we choose to have a special place in our heart...they are special...they are our friends...whether they like it or not.
