Well my friend, if there is one thing I know: it’s that no one, and I mean no one, can make it through this world without friend😊 These pictures were once again amazing and show so many aspects of friendship. Can’t help but have a smile on my face when you look at these!😀😀

How true! My wife went to help my Mom celebrate her 97th birthday, and they had so much fun laughing. Even, though they could only meet on a porch, and couldn’t go inside and play marbles like we did before COVID-19, they could laugh. I was 400+ miles away on a taxi run. But thanks to my wife she had balloons and a cake. My siblings would call her that day, and each one had to remind her that it was her birthday! So the quote fit in well with our situation! Take care and enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
