In kindergarten, your idea of a good friend was the person who let you have the red crayon when all that was left was the ugly black one.
In first grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who went to the bathroom with you and held your hand as you walked through the scary halls.
In second grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you stand up to the class bully.
In third grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who shared their lunch with you when you forgot yours on the bus.
In fourth grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who was
willing to switch square dancing partners in gym so you wouldn't have
to be stuck do-si-do-ing with Nasty Nicky or Smelly Susan.
In sixth grade, your idea of a friend was the person who went up to
Nicky or Susan, your new crush, and asked them to dance with you, so that
if they said no you wouldn't have to be embarrassed.
In seventh grade, your idea of a friend was the person who let you copy
the social studies homework from the night before that you had.
In eighth grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you
pack up your stuffed animals and old baseball but didn't laugh at you when
you finished and broke out into tears.
In ninth grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who would go to
a party thrown by a senior so you wouldn't wind up being the only freshman
there.
In tenth grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who changed
their schedule so you would have someone to sit with at lunch.
In eleventh grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who gave you
rides in their new car, convinced your parents that you shouldn't be
grounded, consoled you when you broke up with Nick or Susan, and found
you a date to the prom.
In twelfth grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you
pick out a college/university, assured you that you would get into that
college/university, helped you deal with your parents who were having a
hard time adjusting to the idea of letting you go.
At graduation your idea of a good friend was the person who was crying on
the inside but managed the biggest smile one could give as they
congratulated you.
The summer after twelfth grade your idea of a good friend was the person
who helped you clean up the bottles from that party, helped you sneak out
of the house when you just couldn't deal with your parents,
assured you that now that you and Nick or you and Susan were back
together, you could make it through anything, helped you pack up for
university and just silently hugged you as you looked through blurry eyes at 18 years of memories you
were leaving behind, and finally on those last days of childhood, went out
of their way to give you reassurance that you would make it in college as
well as you had these past 18 years, and most importantly sent you off to
college knowing you were loved.
Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the
better of the two choices, holds your hand when you're scared, helps you
fight off those who try to take advantage of you, thinks of you at times
when you are not there, reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you
put the past behind you but understands when you need to hold on to it a
little longer, stays with you so that you have confidence, goes out of
their way to make time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, helps
you deal with pressure from others, smiles for you when they are sad,
helps you become a better person, and most importantly loves you!
Pass on to those friends of the past, and those of the
future...and those you have met along the way...
There's never a wrong time to pick up a phone or send a
message telling your friends how much you miss them or how much you love
them.
You know who you are, pass it on to someone who you want to remind.
So send this to all your friends and maybe those who aren't but just watch
and see who sends it back.
If you love someone, tell them. Remember always to say what you mean.
Never be afraid to express yourself. Take this opportunity to tell someone
what they mean to you. Seize the day and have no regrets.
Pass this along to your friends. Let it make a difference
in your day and theirs.
The difference between expressing love and having regrets is that the
regrets may stay around forever.

[crying yet? oh there's more]
Thank you for being a friend. No matter there we go or who we become,
never forget who helped us get there.
Most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have
helped make you the person that you are today and are what it's all about
anyway.
