“The best of friends are the ones
who are with us come hell or high water — or the security of a shore. Sometimes
it takes all that we have to breathe, to row, to stay afloat. And we don’t have
the mental energy to check to see who, if anyone, is in our boat. Blessed are
those friends who reach forward, gently placing their hands on our shoulder,
around our waist, to let us know that they are with us. ” ~ Omid Saif
