Recommended: Importance of friendship to human relationships

From the first dog I got to the first time I picked up and played a trumpet, and from the losses I’ve had to endure to the greatest friend I’ve made in my life.

A guardian is also someone who watches over their friends and who is always willing to lay down there life at any given time. This is the man I have become today and will always be the man until my final
