I am reading "Same Kind of Different As Me" by Ron Hall and Denver Moore for book club. I am loving it! I wanted to share with you a small taste that I read tonight.
Chapter 23 (typed exactly as book is written)
Bein a friend is a heavy commitment. In a way, even more than a husband or wife. And I was selfish. I could take care a' myself, and I didn't need nobody else's baggage. Besides that, friendship to me means more than just somebody to talk to, or run with, or hang with.
Bein freinds is like being soldiers in the army. You live together; you fight together; you die together.
That's how I feel about friendship but never knew how to put it in words. My friends will never understand my feelings towards them. I love them more than they will ever know. I would go to the ends of the earth for them.
I want to read this book. That is exactly how I feel too.

I guess the old Girl Scout song stuck with you- "Make New Friends But Keep The Old, One is Silver and The Other's Gold." You are an amzing friend to your friends.

Now that begs the question of who qualifies as a "friend?"
And if we qualify, just FYI, you don't have to go to the ends of the earth for us. Just to Santa Cruz. Come on up and visit! ;)
