here's the bit that i would like to share.........
( please read till the end coz there's a special message......)

" The idea of friendship consists of a basic understanding between people, involving a complex array of emotions - mutual interests, affection and esteem, respect, and the ability to offer help or service to others in times of need. Friends are glad to see each other and welcome the opportunity to spend time together. Some friends exchange advice with each other; some exchange recipes, books, movies, and hobbies; some exchange jokes; some exchange e-mails and letters. Friends help each other in times of trouble and exult with each other in times of joy and excitement. For many people, friendship is an elaborate, ongoing dance of keeping things equal and staying in touch; for others, friendship is as simple as just knowing that you have someone you can trust to always be there for you.

Friends - true friends - are honest, supportive, encouraging, empathetic, and loving. They don’t care about how much money you have, where you work, what kind of background you come from, or what you will be able to do for them. One popular anonymous quotation gives a very good definition of the value of a true friend: "Money might make you wealthy, but a real friend makes you rich." Many famous authors and poets have expounded on the value of friendship:

"A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway." - Fr. Jerome Cummings

"What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies." - Aristotle

"Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil." - Baltasar Gracian (1647)

"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out." - Walter Winchell

"Your friend is your needs answered." - Kahil Gibran

The great poet Robert Louis Stevenson said, "A friend is a present you give yourself." And Marlene Dietrich added to that sentiment: "It’s the ones you can call up at 4:00 a.m. that really matter." The times we’re living in now are certainly proving that statement to be true. With the future uncertain and ongoing strife in the world, the greatest miracle you can experience is to have a true friend who will always be there, no matter what - a friend that you can call up at 4:00 a.m. if you need to."

A true friend is someone who does not expect too much from you and accepts you as you are. Some people seek friends; some people have the ability to attract friends. Either way, ask Allah to surround you with good friends who will be a positive influence in your life.

I am blessed with my friends here...

and wouldn't want / DO NOT WANT to take any of them for granted.



I luv you guys...Friends Forever....
