Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same. Flavia
In my opinion, friends are not coincidental, but one of the most precious offerings in our lives. To journey together with someone who cares is essential, spiritual, monumental. Without friends, we are not fulfilled, we do not grow, we do not learn or laugh or care. With friends, worlds are opened to us, we flourish and struggle, we love and we smile. We are forever changed.
What fun it is to see Ivan start this journey of friendship. Will some of these friends be lifelong? Will they make forever imprints on his heart? Will they love him even when he is ugly and help him know the ultimate Friend, the lover of our souls? I hope so, I pray so. May Ivan's friendships be true, longlasting and enriching.
To Ivan's friends and mine... thank-you.

I hope you are able to instill your wisdom and understanding in Ivan. Beautifully writen. You touched my heart.
Friends are important, but, more important still,
is family.
Especially the mother.
In my experience, no matter how old or senile
we get, we are always thinking of and looking for
our mother.
What an awesome responsibility and joy.
What a great post! You describe what is truly beautiful about friendship.
