a friend with chocolate

The previous article was posted at the suggestion of the author, Barbara Minton. Her friendship and support was an essential part of my healing process. I believe good friendships are essential to creating a healthy, positive life. We measure the quality and richness of our own lives by the quality of our friends.--I am blessed. 

"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one." 
— C.S. Lewis

"There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate." 

— Charles Dickens

"Why did you do all this for me?" he asked. "I don't deserve it. I've never done anything for you.' 
You have been my friend,' replied Charlotte. 'That in itself is a tremendous thing." 
— E.B. White (Charlotte's Web)
