Like you he said that he had many acquaintances , but so few friends .

There's a quote , I can't remember by whom , that a friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out .

I don't know about you , but I find as I grow older how shallow human relationships are .
I agree JCB, but you also find out what's what too, I'm kind of with father Burke on that one, but the ones I can count on have proved they're are good people in this world, who still have time for others even when they are out of sight and forgotten by the rest
