1 So Many memories and so many miles

The road that stretches behind us

We've had some laughter and our share of tears

But all these moments unite us

I'll be you're friend for a lifetime

Against the wind and the rain of every season

Won't walk away in the hard times

I will be your friend

I'm saying I will be your friend

Sure as the river runs to the sea

High as the mountain that reaches

You were there by my side till the end

(And) Helped me on my feet again

So in the valley walk on

Don't have to face it alone

1.1 Cause in the hard times

We keep growing strong

As we learn as we live

That we live when we give

I'll be you're friend for a lifetime

Against the wind and the rain of every season

Won't walk away in the hard times

I will be your friend

I'm saying I will be your friend

Lyrics from : Michael W. Smith's song I WILL BE YOUR FRIEND



Why did I choose to save Harper's life instead of a stranger?

I've been asked that a lot recently.

I've also been trying to figure out a good answer.

The answer's simple…I just can't think of a good one yet.

There was a choice to be made….Harper would have died…so…I chose for him.

Save the life of a total stranger and loose a friend…or save a friend and loose a stranger.

Easy decision.

He was…IS…my friend.

After awhile I got used to referring to him in the past tense, if I spoke about him, which was seldom…Humans don't tend to react to great when you speak about friends who have died…yep…he died…but now he's alive. That's good…for me at least. I guess that I'll have to be extra careful when I talk about him from now on.

Maybe I've changed the future for the better; maybe I've made it even worse.

A girl's allowed to be selfish every once in a while…especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

He's my best friend.

Everyone needs one. Besides, I made a claim the day I met him, so hands off death.

My Harper!
