"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." Martin Luther King Jr.

Friends come and go. Some stay for awhile, some come and go quickly. Those that stay for awhile make an impact in our lives and are never ever forgotten. Even if the cause us heartbreak and misfortune.

I have been blessed in my life to have had many friends that have left imprints in my heart and soul. To name them will be difficult, not forgetting anyone will be impossible. But I will try to do so none the less because these people whether they are still making an impact in my life or have come and gone need to be reconized as people who made me what I am today and who make me what I continue to become.

I hope I have made the same impact in these peoples lives as they have in mine.
