in this case by sharing my emotional outlook on life.

One of the greatest titles we can have is "old friend."
We never appreciate how important old friends are until we are older.
The problem is we need to start our old friendships when we are young.

can cause us to neglect those friends.
Today is the day to invest in those people
we hope will call us "old friend" in the years to come.
- Grant Fairley

even away from the attentions of those
with whom they are most bonded.

they want to find someone to be "responsible" for what happened.
