Friends are our heart family |

Some friends are so close, that they are part of our daily lives so naturally and seem like members of our family. Even if they are not “blood of our blood”, certain people seem to be known to us for a long time, a gratuitous sympathy springs up and settles down.

A friend is by our side to share unique moments and transform them into unforgettable ones. After all, isn’t it much better to witness a beautiful sunset with someone special by your side to share that view? At certain times the friend becomes a bit like a father and mother, gives advice, listens to us, takes care of us. In others, we are more like equals and we have a relationship like almost brothers: we talk, we dream, we fight, we open ourselves up to think and solve, we enjoy, we chase, we share.

These special people do not replace their family members, but rather become an extension of their bonds of love, expanding their sense of family and fraternity. Sometimes they end up becoming part of the family. It’s that friend-brother who gains space on a second mother’s lap and has a captive seat at family events. Friend-brother who is no longer ashamed to open the refrigerator at home if necessary, knows the birthdays of his family members, knows the mood of the people in the house. Of course, he will closely monitor new situations and be there when needed. He is present for achievements and also in times of difficulty. It is together for silence and also for long conversations.

A gift of enormous value, it must be emphasized. A true friendship is a great treasure that brings more humanity into our lives. Those who have a friend-brother have more than company, they have a partner.

There is a bond that surpasses the existence or not of blood ties, it is the brotherhood of values, of ideals, a sincere feeling of cheering for the happiness of the other.We can even say that a friend is a brother that life gives us the chance to choose. Thinking on the other hand, friendship, being a form of love, is not really a choice. It happens and we recognize it, it is a gift of life that we choose to accept.

Increasing our family through the bonds of the heart is also increasing the possibility of feeling comfortable and at home with more people along our journey through life.
