Silly Friday thing

Here is a picture Charlie made in school yesterday.

It is entitled 'Friendship'.




When I was younger, and feeling very lonely and unpopular, this quote about friendship made me feel sort of better:

Don't walk in front of me, I might not follow, don't walk behind me, I might not lead, just walk beside me and be my friend.

Yes, I know it's all sorts of smaltzy, but it helped.

What's your favorite friendship quote or, alternatively, do you have a picture that evokes friendship for you?

If so, share!

ETA: silverhill made me think of this. It's part of Kermit's speech to Doc Hopper.

. And... well, I've found a whole bunch of friends who have the same dream. And that makes us like a family. That's how I feel about you guys.

Oops

So, I had this bath scrubber thing. It was purple and had a cloth piggy on it, and it was old and disgusting and I'd tried to throw it away several times but Charlie kept rescuing it from the trash.

Finally however, I decided that it Really Must Go, because it was just old and gross, so I threw it in the outside trash.

Fast forward to a few minutes ago. Charlie was in the shower. "Mom? Where's the purple piggy?"

I told him I threw it out.

There was silence for a few moments, and then I hear this sobbing.

Charlie really, really liked the purple piggy.

So, the last few minutes were spent comforting a crying Charlie and finally he says to me, "What will make me happy?"
