Think about the times in your life when you’ve really needed your friends.  I know for me they have rallied around in times of tragedy but they are also there to celebrate occasions big and
small.  I remember as a little girl in Brownies we would sing this song, “Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold.”  I don’t think that there is ever a time when we can’t make room for a new friend.
