A story is told about a
soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He
called his parents from San Francisco.
"Mom and Dad,
I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring
home with me."
"Sure," they
replied, "we'd love to meet him."
"There's
something you should know the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in
the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has
nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."
Friends
are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to
succeed They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want
to open their hearts to us.
