My 8 year old son and I were talking and I asked him: What is a friend?
He said, "A friend is someone you can trust, someone whom you like to do stuff with; Someone who will never lead you astray or cause you harm on purpose, and someone whom forgives you when you make mistakes; Someone who is with you in good times and bad times."
I paused to get his attention and looked him directly in the eyes and said, "Son, I will ALWAYS BE YOUR FRIEND." He JUMPED into my arms with gusto and we both cried in a very long embrace. If I could have frozen time - I would have.
I write it here as a reminder to myself; I never want to stop being my children's best friend! Abba, may I never forget!
