"There is no distance too great between friends, for love gives wings to the heart." 
I have always heard that "A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."
With that said...today we had again the opportunity of take pleasure in the happiness that comes with the knowledge that we are important to people that we consider important in our lives as well.
And today I got to see a co-worker (friend) who left to another job awhile back…today he was in the same State and decided to drop by my work to say “Hi”. Then some time after I got reacquainted with my good friend, whom I haven’t seen in such a long time …another great friend of mine…who moved back home to England (last January), called me from London to keep bases and in touch with my girls and me. And we closed our night having dinner with our so extraordinary and esteemed friends, Mário & Andreia. I always had so much happiness meeting new people and making friends…and today; as I was talking with some of my good friends…I recognized just how fortunate I am for having them in my life. It also made me feel so thankful for being able to teach my children the beauty of living this incredible and wonderful life knowing that friends can indeed be presents that God gives us. I have always heard and will quote: “Do not save your loving speeches for your loved ones and friends till they are dead; do not write them on their tombstones, speak them rather now instead.”
