Farewell To Friends, Celebrate Your Friendships
By Eva Gregory

If you’re a Friends fan, or even if you’re not, you know that the first-run episodes have come to an end. No longer will we be able to look forward to the new antics of Chandler, Joey, Monica, Phoebe, Rachel and Ross, but due to the magic of syndication these friends will continue to delight or annoy us (depending on your preference) for many years to come. What made the show such a hit? Perhaps it was the camaraderie and pure caring that shown through all of the episodes, regardless of the plot. What is your perception of your friendships?

Who do you call when you break up with a boy/girlfriend, get a new job, announce an impending birth, or just need to vent? I’ll even wager that your favorite friends are even on speed dial or voice dial too! Friendship is a huge part of everyday existence. What do you do to nurture these relationships? Do you let your friends know just how much they mean to you? Do you send them cards, always make time for them no matter what, or do they know that they can always count on you? Typically it’s unspoken, but it never hurts to actually tell them how much they really mean to you.
