history: I had mentioned to my friend that my computer was pretty much dead.  Later I found he had sent me money to help me buy a new one. I had mentioned to my friend one day that my computer was pretty much on its way out.  Some time later I found that he had sent me the money to buy a new one. Wow! What a nice friend. I wish my friends did that Yea I was really thankful and appreciative for it.  He's like a brother to me.
current: That's great. It's nice to have people so close to you. It really helps in bad times
next: It really does.  I think when it comes to friends quality is better than quantity.  I like to have friends that feel like family.
