Well, in the Bible Jesus said in John 15, "greater love hath no man than this, that he would lay down his life for his friends." That is the kind if friend that I seek to be. The kind that, if I had millions, and my friend was sick, I would hire a housekeeper to come in once a week and I would hire a cook to prepare meals for the week for them. I am also reminded of the parable of the good samaritan who found a man along the road that had been beated and robbed. While others passed him by, the samaritan, an outcast in the eyes of the beaten man, took him to be treated for his injuries and paid in advance for it, then said to the care provider, if he needs anything else and it costs more, charge it to me and I will pay you when I return. That is a person that I would call a friend.

You have a good concept of friendship and I am happy to call you my friend.

Have a great evening,
Eric
