through which we share life’s
joys and sorrows. “He finds a
world who finds a friend, and
makes that friend his own”,
has been aptly said by one
who knew the sustaining
strength a friend can give us.
With each newcomer to our
community there is a mutual
opportunity of gaining new
friends; but friendship does not
just happen. Friends like flow
ers must be cultivated; but the
rewards far outweigh the ef
forts.
