Today, I would like to honor the gift of friendship.
It is easy to hang with someone in good times, in times of joy, laughter, and when all is well. This is important, for there is nothing more healing and enjoyable than belly laughing with someone.
But the true test of a friendship is being with someone when times are tough, there is sadness, broken hearts, stress, illness and so on.
These people - be they blood-related, or not - are the ones to hold dear to your heart.
In my book 'The Teddy Bear Eye Club', the people who have Teddy Bear Eyes, are the ones who are always with you, like your first Teddy Bear who stayed with you through everything.
So today I salute the friends who stand by you in good times and in bad times. They never let you go. They jump in to make sure you are all right.
To have a friend, you also need to be that type of friend to others. It is a two-way street.
But the friends that are real, will hold your hand when you are weak, vulnerable and scared, until you are strong again.
And let's not forget our fur friends.
Thanks for listening.
Suzanne
