America has problems, but America is NOT THE PROBLEM!~
In My last article Deference brought up friendship means something different to him than it does to me.


I am real curious about this, {learning still} May I have your age, sex and what does friendship mean to you at this point in your life?

To me it means that I am always there for my friends, no matter what, their friendship carries a lot of weight and importance to me,

I am not ever to busy to listen to a friend, offer an ear or some advice if asked.

To me friends are my family, the closest people to me, the ones I depend on for strength in times of need, the ones I am strong for when needed.

Friends are a rare commodity, we USUALLY do not have a ton of real friends, most people I know have less than a handful of them.

I have many people I am friendly with, but not many friends { I count four} THE ONES I have have been time tested and they are still here, through the worse of tragedies to the best of times, still here.

This is not some kind of "test" I will not argue my ideas are better than yours are.

Basically it is just an "inquiring mind wants to know"

Sadly I am so busy my kids (4 and 3) and probably my father are my only friends.
Even sadder, I don't know if i would say my wife is my 'Best Friend', we are close but I find it is too difficult to open up to her.

Sad but i think I have forgotten how to keep friends.

There's a song I know that sums up friendship quite nicely. It's from the musical wicked which has amazing music, go buy it or borrow it, it's great.

"I've heard it said, that people come into our lives for a reason, bringing something we must learn and we are lead by those who help us most to grow if we let them and we help them in return. Well I don't know if I believe that's true, but I know I'm who I am today, because I knew you. Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun, like a stream that meets a boulder, half way through the wood. Who can say if I've been changed for the better, but because I knew you I have been changed for good."

Friends are the people who love us unconditionally, and who change our lives because of that love.
