The Importance of Friends Jun 22, 2018 | By Wendy Hanson (@wendyhanson)Comment receiving replies
What a great post! I just love the concept of friendship and more than the concept, I just love those who are my friends!
Some friends I visit with only online, such as on Mayo Connect. While others I get together with regularly in person, for meals, church worship, share concerts, book discussions, traveling and the sharing of personal faith, struggles and dreams. To have friends is to have treasures. These treasures do not require a bank account but only regular deposits of time, conversation and the openness to share life's experiences.
From some of my friends, I receive the gift of loyalty, support and strength. With some friendships I give back the gift of loyalty, support and strength. In whatever way the friendship manifests itself, it becomes a win-win situation for all.

Well said! I like that you pointed out these special connections don't have to be in-person either! Many friendships span large distances and those are just as meaningful. Thank you for taking the time to share!
