True Quotes

  Friends are born, not made.

–Henry Adams

There have been times when I have been sad for my children when they each went through a phase of  teenage loneliness. At that time, they each claimed that they were the only member of the “No Friends Club”.  We’ve all been there — lonely and wondering if we will ever have a friend again.
