“Do I Know You?” by Julie Diamond

— 

     A true friend is one who knows all about you and likes you anyway.

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.

Everyone has a ‘best friend’ during each stage of life — only a precious few have the same one.

 

   One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.
