I remember in 2nd grade asking my teacher how to spell FRIEND. She told me, and then added, “Remember, there’s always an END to a FRIEND.” I’m pretty sure my eyes got very big as I stared up at her, appalled. But I never forgot it, either the spelling, or the life lesson.
“end to a friend”
Wowzers. That’s an eye opener right there.
Hope you’ve found some who have stuck with you, though.
Meanwhile, pay no attention to me as a re-evaluate my life choices...
