E-mail from Sister Thilaga.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts.
And we are never, ever the same.

Friends are like melons; shall I tell you why?
To find one good you must one hundred try.

"The rain may be falling hard outside,
But your smile makes it all alright.
I'm so glad that you're my friend.
I know our friendship will never end."

"A true friend is someone who thinks that you are

a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked."

Remember, the greatest gift is not found in a store nor under a tree,

but in the hearts of true friends.

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Hold a true friend with both your hands.

"Fair and foul are near of kin And fair needs foul,

" I cried. "My friends are gone, but that's a truth Nor grave nor bed denied."

"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another,

What, you too? I thought I was the only one.

"Always to suppose ones friends may be right till one finds them wrong,

rather than to suppose them wrong till one finds them right."
