But first and foremost, I call you friend. And I miss you if you are away, and if you are here, then I thank you for standing by my side. And so I send you this, so that you might know that someone, somewhere, is thinking of you, praying for you, and loving you. And that person is me. May God grant you peace and happiness in your times of trial, and watch over you, so that one day we will meet again.
Friendship is a strange thing.
We find ourselves telling each other the deepest details of our lives. Things we wouldn't even share with our family. A friend is all these things. Whether we met at Mt. Pleasant, Upward Bound, PEP, RIC, or URI, intentionally, or unintentionally, here, or anywhere. I call you friend.
