The case for friendship.

I have friends. That come and go. Maybe they are convenient friends. Nothing special. But there for convenience sake. Either for them. Or for me. Of course I have close friends, too. Friends that I like to be around. That I'd really miss. If we didn't see each other or converse regularly. But there are more convenient friends than close friends. More like acquaintances. I have no need for many, many friends. But I'd hate to live without any friends. --Jim Broede
