Let’s honour our close friends who know us and accept us as we are. The family we got to choose. Let’s celebrate morning, afternoon and night dates, the long and short calls—perfect timing and the never-ending stream of messages.

Let’s celebrate those we can always count on—those who inspire us to improve—those whom we can comfortably argue with and be spontaneous. Let’s celebrate those who share our best stories—those who listen to us and think of us when they need an ear. Let’s celebrate those soul sisters and brothers that make us laugh, cry and everything in between. Let’s celebrate those who understand our cycles—those who speak to us with care and truth and make time for us despite our busy schedules.
