An Assignment

This might get a bit sappy, but I'm going to do it anyway. I want all of you to do something, and I think it will make us all feel better.

Think of a friend. Not an acquaintance or a coworker or just someone you hang out with. Think of a friend. Someone you would do just about anything for. Someone you quickly call when something good happens and someone you call even more quickly when something bad happens. The person you call when you get tickets to something. The person you think of when you see something really funny, knowing instantly that he or she will find it just as funny.

Think of the person you trust your secrets with. Good, bad, or embarrassing. Think of the person you're willing to be honest with - sometimes even more honest than with yourself. The person you'll be talking to and realize you're spilling your heart out to, whether you intended to or not. Think of the person you would miss the most if you were separated.

I hope each of you has a person like that. And if you do, be thankful. Those types of bonds are unfortunately rare but infinitely priceless. And if you get a chance, let them know that you care.
I'm sure they feel the same way about you.
