They are the people songs are sometimes written about. They are often the most important people in the world when we want to tell someone about a success; they listen to us when we just got shot down and suffer a defeat and just need to talk with someone; and they are the people we call first when life seemingly crumbles around us.
These people, known by a simple seven-letter word, are often our best allies in the world; at other times, you wonder about their loyalty, especially when they tell you something about yourself that you don’t want to hear; but through it all, they are often closer than a brother or sister. They are the people who help us make it through some of life’s gloomiest days, and they are often our only cheerleaders.
