Friendships enter our lives

and pass away again more often than we would like to admit. But every now and then there is that one soul that will not fade from our minds and hearts, no matter the separation of distance, time or mortality. It doesn't matter if you know them well, or only meet them once, these people leave a permanent mark on your existance. Often without realizing it, they cause us to strive to be more, to be like them, and in the process we grow beyond the boundaries we thought unbreachable. Far too often their wondrous gift is left unappreciated.

These are the wing dancers of our world. To those who have taken the time to guide my path, I say thank you.
