"A hug is worth a thousand words. A friend is worth more."
- Sent by Jasmine Fitzwilliam

Savi and mself have been friends since childhood.
We do not have too much in common and we do not meet that often as we do not live in the same city.
Lately she had a major car accident. She had to have her face restructured. It has changed so much that the authorites find it difficult to identify her from her photograph.
What touched my heart was that when she visited a temple in te South of India and they asked her to name a good friend. She named me???

At the moment I am reading a great book called 'Snow Flower and the Secret Fan' by Lisa See.

It is a beautiful heart breaking story on friendship. It is set in 19th Century China, in a remote Hunan County. A girl named Lily, at the tender age of seven is paired with a 'laotong' or 'old same' in an emotional match that will last a lifetime...
