''When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those...
who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures...
have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand...
The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion...
who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement...
who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing...
and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."
~Henri Nouwen~
I have been blessed with the most amazing friends in the world. Sammi is definitely a blessing. For nine long years, we have listened to each others problems, dreams and wishes. We've gone everywhere together and done everything together. We support each other and help fix each other's problems. We laugh until we cry, and make up stupid jokes. Sometimes, we plan crazy things that will never happen and dream way too far...
But that's what best friends are for.
