Friends....a gift from God! They really are. I have some fantastic friends...there to cheer me up...to support me...to help out with stuff. And my friends run the gamut...Republican, Democrat, moderate...it doesn't matter, they are my friends. During the last general election, I was in the hospital and couldn't vote, a Democrat friend of mine went to the polls and voted for my candidates...now THAT"S a friend! I was with a group of friends this week and it was just a wonderful time. NEVER take your friends for granted....AND...make sure you are a good friend!
