Friends are born, not made.

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.
Deep in my heart, I mourn for these friends. children who were supposed to be born as friends for my children, but were aborted before birth.
No matter how hard you try to make a friend, there is something to be said for Adams’ comment. Friends are born to be friends with another specific person. In the scenario I mentioned, their destinies were inturrupted. I wish, for everyone’s sake, they had not been.
