"Nothing matters but being friends"

We’re gifted friendships, but they can be precarious and may waver.

Sometimes it’s hard to know what to hold on to and what to let go of. 

With an open palm, the sand of trust can disappear between your fingers. But holding it too tight is futile as well. It takes two hands interlocked to keep the sands of friendship contained.

Maybe the best way to view a special friendship is as you would a delicate family heirloom. 

It’s so special that it deserves to be handled gently--with extra care.  To do so, you see that the friendship is delicate and needs extra grace. Maybe it needs to be polished to keep its sheen or simply admired for its rust and memories. Regardless it’s an heirloom. It has meaning. It’s not to be thrown away but cherished.
