Happy Friendship Day!

There is a holiday on India, on the first Sunday of every August called Friendship Day. Similar to Mother’s and Father’s Day, this day is set aside simply to celebrate your friends. Let them know how special they are and thank them for being your friend. People exchange friendship bracelets with each other. It is really nice and on friendship day, everyone you meets greets you with “happy friendship day!” I think this is a holiday that should catch on (and I’m kinda surprised it hasn’t given the potential revenue for the greeting card industry). I think it is really nice to have a special day just for your friends.
So in the spirit of friendship day: to all of my friends out there – I love you all! I would not be on this trip without the support you have given me over the past couple of decades. From my friend who I knew since before we were first born to those that I have made on this trip, from Harbor, to AU, to Advocates, to Cal: you all mean something incredibly special to me. Thank you for being my friend!
