Some say the measure of a man is his friends. To some extent I would agree that it is true. Its especially apparent to me now, with Kiko gone for a few weeks, how valuable true friends are and how close some people really are. It’s good to have some people close to you that you know are more than just acquaintances. People I know I can count on when I need an ear, when I need to talk, when I need……a friend. I thank Darok and Chris J for always being there when I text msg and also for when I need company. Nial for hanging out and getting some dinner with me. Bruce and Walter for taking me out to the movies and better yet, coming to my place to see a movie. And of course I thank all of them again for more than just what is mentioned. Most tend to take friends for granted. But its true friends, friends that are there when you need them; though good times, bad times, and even mediocre times, that make life enjoyable. I feel good knowing that there are people I can count on; and not just for pity, but people that I like and like me and are always reliable. They’re not just people that I kind of know, but people that I feel connected to.
So yes, in some ways a measure of a man is his friends; if he has REAL friends, then he has proven himself as a man….
