Friendship can mean a lot of things......

Happiness--  For the times that you want to reach out and grab that special comrade in a bear hug, especially when we share things that are vital

Understanding:  When all else fails, knowing that him or her always has ur back and is thinking of you means the world when the world seems to be on ur shoulders.

Freedom to Disagree:  An emotion that even the best of friends can share.....and be willing to argue and irritate one another for the most common and rightful choice. All sides need to debate what is the life-saving force of love and gratitude.

And finally:

Eternity:  The ability to last forever......to always come out of the darkness and meet the foes of despair. Together, holding hands, till our dying days. Eternity is friendship, and friendship never dies.....
