Hi @stdd very grateful and happy to be one of the beneficiaries. Congratulations to all.

Do you have any friends that you consider your family? How many of them are there? Perhaps you would have some funny story on the subject?

As for friends, I have not in quantity but in quality. In quantity acquaintances, in quality friends and few.
You get to the family, with members that you do not choose. There are good families and others not so good. But true friends, those who do not need any blood ties, those come into your life and are part of it by affinity, because they are your complement or because you are the complement. And I speak of complement in the good sense, that part that you do not have, they contribute and enrich your essence. I have friends that just by writing a text message or listening to my tone of voice, they know my emotional state. They are those who are there for better or worse, who strengthen your condition as a human being. Those who tell you sometimes what you have to listen even if you don't like it. They are really a great value for me. I care about taking care of, fostering and cultivating those friends. Even some of us are separated by distance, by time, but when we meet again everything flows.

Count me in @marilour gratitude
