One of my favorite movies is “It’s A Wonderful Life”. The movie is usually seen during the Christmas holiday, and as my daughter would say, you get the “feels” when you watch it. There is one quote at the end of the movie that has always impressed me.
“Remember, no man is a failure who has friends”.
This reminds me of all the friends that I have in my life. They all hold a very special place in who I am. The friend who’s coffee visits are more like therapy because I need that honest insight. Now days it’s the Zoom visits with friends to make sure all is going well with them.
No matter our age we need friends. We need that listening ear, that honest opinion, that friend that will pull out a tissue because we’re both getting emotional. That friend that sticks with you through rough times even though they are miles away.
But there is another side of friendship and that’s me being a friend. Showing those people in my life that our relationship means so very much to me. Cherish those friendships. Because with those friends in your life, you’re not a failure.
