“I would rather walk with a friend in the dark than alone in the light.” – Helen Keller

There are people I'm going to meet today, some of whom I have known before, and they are going to become my life-long friends. Today will begin with each of them - and continue with others met yesterday - a deep, wide-ranging and mutually fulfilling friendship we will cherish all the days of our lives.
