"Your very best friends in life are those who help you through hard times, give you a hand when you most need it and lend you a listening ear when you you just want to let off steam. These are real friends who are not found in places where the healing powers of both heart and humanity rarely venture. So when they take you to their bosom and into their confidence, bind them ever close to you and their presence shall never fail to comfort and console. Be aware that most of our advancements in life have been achieved on the shoulders of others and are rarely due to the sole efforts of ourselves. Always count your close friends among your greatest blessings, but beware of ever taking advantage of their friendship. Instead, treasure and nurture it and you'll always have it." William Forde: October 19th, 2013.
