“Close friends are truly life's treasures.
Sometimes they know us better than we know
ourselves.  With gentle honesty, they are there
to guide and support us, to share our laughter
and our tears. Their presence reminds us
that we are never really alone.”


 Vincent van Gogh

Today is van Gogh's birthday (b. 1853)
