| **Best Friends** |
 |
| Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow grow, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation. ~George Washington~ |
| *A friend should be radical. They should love you when you're unlovable, Hug you when you're unhuggable, And bear you when you're unbearable. A friend should be fanatical. They should cheer when the whole world boos, Dance when you get good news, And cry when you cry too. But most of all a friend should be mathematical. They should Multiply the joy, Divide the sorrow, Subtract the past, and Add to tomorrow. Calculate the need deep in your heart, And always be bigger than the sum of all their parts.* |

| Your friendship... |
| *My Dearest Tracy,* I can't even begin to explain how much you and your friendship mean to me. We've been best friends since I was little, and I know we had our rough moments, but we've always pulled through them. We've been through the good times and the not so good times. Tracy, you've forgiven me no matter what the mistake and you've always been there to support me. You were there for every love and for every heartache. And no matter how much a guy would break my heart, you never did. You understand me completely. You let me be my own person and never ask anything of me. You never asked me to change or be something else that I couldn't be. Your friendship has been what has truely kept me afloat in times of dissapointment, in times of heartache, and in times of grief and sorrow. You are always there for a hug or to talk whenever I need you. I thank the Lord every day for you and our friendship. Because I know that without it, I'd be lost. It's nice to know who your true friends are, and you definitely are the best! I know that I definitely could not have gone through so much stuff without knowing that my best friend in the world was still there. It's amazing to think that you still love me and you're still there for me even though I've messed up. But it's nice to know that no one's perfect, and that I have a best friend who understands that. I only hope and pray that I can be what you've been for me...a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen with, and a heart to love you with. I can't repay you in any way for what you've done and been for me, but I will tell you that I don't know where I'd be without you here beside me. I love you Tracy Leigh. Always have and always will. *Love, Veronica Lynne* |

| ~ 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 us with the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares... ~ |
| *Dearest John,* We first met in high school.....and I'd have to say that was probably one of the best things that ever happened to me. County Chorus was the best that year, because I made a new best friend without even realizing it in the beginning. I got to know you and your family and I loved all of you right away! You've been there through the good stuff and the tough stuff. Personal problems, family problems, school problems, sickness/injury problems....and you always offered to help. I love you so much and I will always be here for you, whenever you might need me. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how I ended up as your Bobo, but I'm thankful. Thankful that God put such an awesome friend in my life. I'm undeserving of such love and friendship. I will always cherish you and this crazy, busy life that includes such a wonderful friendship as yours. I am blessed to call you friend. I looooove youuu! *Love, Veronica Lynne* |
