Friends that Make a Difference (Earl)

I just got back from my friends place. I met this guy a while ago and he has taken special care of my feelings. I mean he is respectful of what one goes through when one is learning how to walk in his own skin. His hospitality, words, and care are genuine. He has a smile that says "I really like you". Anyway, learning to accept yourself is a journey for anyone. But an especially difficult journey when all around you it seems you are ducking from the stones of bigotry.

It is friends like Earl that add to my strength. It seems that I gather strength from all of the past struggles that my friends have already endured. So I thank you that you did not give up when you struggled because now your life has strengthened mine.

Beautiful... thank you for sharing, I'm very proud of this man. If more of us had his heart, the world would be a better place to grow in.
