For this day I am grateful for this male friend for the following reasons:


  • His ability to have lively debates with me on current and past events. 
  • His dedication to his friends in their darkest hours when they were dying. 
  • Our long talks about just anything! 
  • First man who taught me that men and women can be friends after a romatic relationship has ended.
