It took me awhile to understand just how much I needed a best friend.It's easy to think we can go through everything alone and that we don't need anyone else's help.Once we go through those times in our lives that beat us down though, we realize how much we need the support of others.I wanted to introduce you to one of my best friends.We're going to talk a bit about how that relationship has fostered our growth over the years and decades since we first met.
