Friendship isn't always easily described. The Eskimos, they
say, have a hundred different words for snow. Unfortunately,
the English language isn't quite as innovative, though it
has vast opportunities to differentiate meaning. Certainly,
Love is one of those opportunities. And so, too, is
Friendship.

Instead of different words, however, we're stuck with simple
adjectives. Close friend. Best friend. Childhood friend.
Intimate friend. Trusted friend. Beloved friend. But whether
you use adjectives or different words, few could deny the
nearly infinite meaning in such a simple word.

Friends are special people. We can't pick our family, and
we're sorely limited in the number of them at any rate.
Society and mores (and often our own conscience) dictate we
select a single mate. But our friends can be as diverse and
infinite as the adjectives we choose. Our friends, in a very
real sense, reflect the choices we make in life.

Friends are always there for you.
