Special Friend

This is my good friend. Harry. We've been friends for the last 25 years. We met when the kid who lived next door to my mom was working on my old work car, a 1977 AMC Hornet. He sort of hung around, started tagging along on trips; we went out for more lunches and breakfasts than you can shake a stick at, and we sleepily circled the Chicago O'Hare International Airport departures and arrivals drive about five times before discovering that this was not the way to the parking lot. I've was there when he was married, rejoiced at the birth of his two sons, and he cried on my shoulder at 3:00 AM when he went through his first divorce. We talk on the phone at least once every two weeks and my wife and I were delighted when he remarried almost three years ago to a wonderful Christian woman. There are friends who care and there is folks like this who always seem to care and call up just to see how you're doing. . . .
