“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.” ― Henri Nouwen, Out of Solitude: Three Meditations on the Christian Life
“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.” ― Muhammad Ali
“Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.” ― Anais Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1: 1931-1934
“A faithful friend is a strong defense; And he that hath found him hath found a treasure.” ― Louisa May Alcott
“Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joys, and dividing our grief” ― Marcus Tullius Cicero
“True friends are always together in spirit.” ― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
. . . . Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you,
Because I knew you,
I have been changed for good.”
― Stephen Schwartz, Wicked: The Complete Book and Lyrics of the Broadway Musical
Rest in peace, dear friend,
Nancy & Victor Rumore
