Defining friendship

Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring all right out just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful friendly hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping and, with a breath of comfort, blow the rest away.

I have only experienced that comfort once. I loved it and long for it every day and every minute with this person.

You can, and will, experience comfort with someone else. It will be.

And yes, I will be on Friday night. See you then. Think up some great suggestions and throw them out.
