Genuine and true friendships are hard to find but when we do we should be true and loyal to them. We have a duty, an unwritten command to preserve those precious memories of so many friends and family, while we remember them their lives live on.
Genuine love and friendship are not restrained by race, age, ability, education, monetary or other any other worldly entity. so do not 'just listen' to the old or to your friends, remember them, honour them! Write them down and share their lives with the world and do not let their amazing stories be lost and buried with them in their graves when they pass on.
