A friendship requires that a person wish another the good he wishes himself, so that he desires to converse with him and share with him those aspects of life that he especially values,” says St Thomas.
Friendship makes us laugh and sing, makes us sad, makes us cry. Above all, it makes us live. We need friends to disperse loneliness. A friend inspires, encourages, helps us to think more kindly, to live more graciously. A friend gives warmth, understanding, love, time and himself. Everybody needs a friend, and I am one of those lucky enough to have a friend like Manisha.
Dear Manisha, we have come such a long way that we really know each other well. We have given each other encouragement and have accomplished things we never thought we could.
I have become a better person knowing you. You have given me things I will never ever get in my lifetime, and the most important thing has been the gift of your friendship. Mere words are not enough to let you know how much it means to me to have you as a friend. I can depend on you for comfort when I am sad, for understanding when I am confused, for laughter when I am unhappy. Your honesty often helps me notice my weakness and your support helps me turn them into strengths. I want to give you some friendly advice – keep smiling, don’t worry, be happy. False friends are like dry leaves found everywhere, a true friend is like a diamond very rare.
