"A world without a friend, what would it be? It would be like a world without water, something you need. Friends are like glass, once broken, they are hard to fix. Keep your friends, as you would keep your water."I have many friends,but finally I have decided to give tribute to my beloved Mancika,for the precious years we spent together.1)Quote:The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.Elbert HubbardI feel that this quote characterizes perfectly our friendship,as me and my friend know everything about each other.2)My friend:Mariann-I call her Mancika3)How we became friends:We became roommates on a river cruiseline ship,at that time she was a friend of my friend.We lived during 2 years together,day and night.She was first just my colleague,then we became friends.Our acquaintance turned slowly,I'd say drop by drop to a friendship,to fill the glass of confidence and trust,and one day we realized we are best friends,who can trust each other and lean on the other when needed.4)Why we stayed friends:My friend is a special person,I'm very grateful that I can call her my friend.I'd like to say that I don't make friends easily,I have a rather introverted personality and my friend was completly the opposite of me with her extroverted personality,joyfull,very funny,humorous and outgoing.We stayed friends,because she proved to me,that I always can count on her,and she was loyal to me anytime,and never betrayed our friendship.I always enjoyed very much being in her company,noone could be bored next to her.5)My friend's best qualities:reliable,funny,self-confident,hard-working,a natural born optimist-who can give much positive energy to me(she's my energizer),sportive-we roller skated many miles together-pe..the whole Donau Insel in Wienna..and everywhere we came to anchor....etc,(we are skater fans)6)Why is your friend like family:It's funny,but we called our symbiosis as a familyback than,in good old times.Actually we lived 3 friends together,spending day and night together for two years.I can hardly mention tough times,I remember with nostalgy to those wonderful years with lots of adventures,as we were travelling besides working hard every day,but her competence made easier even the hardest work.7)The last time I saw my friend:Unfortunately it has a long time we met,about 4years ago,in France,but we are staying in touch by internet and skype.My friend lives in France,as she married a French man,but hope we will see each other this summer,as probably they are coming home for holiday with her husband.8)Thank you note:Thank you dear Mancika for being a great friend of mine through all those years,and that our friendship still lasts.Thank you for all the sweet memories that I'm safe-keeping from those wonderful years we were spending together.Hope we can meet soon and hug each other once again!
