What is friendship?

Is it a term or something so much more?

Something that I'm sure has been done to death but, since reading East of Eden, I wanted to do something a little more thought provoking. I got the idea while I was alone in my house, with just the sound of a clock ticking to keep me company.

Through out life we laugh, we cry, we live, we die. When the time comes to give your final goodbye, will you be ready? A great man once said "A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist." And when the time comes to bid adue to your friends/family/lovers will you remember for Auld Lang Syne?
