People walk around today calling everyone their “best friend”. The term doesn’t have any real meaning anymore. Mere acquaintances are lavished with hugs and kisses upon a second or, at most, third meeting. Birthday cards get passed around offices, so everybody can scribble a snippet of sentimentality for a colleague they’ve barely met. And everyone just “loves” everyone. As a result, when you tell somebody you love them today, it isn’t much heard. I love you, Denny. YOU are my best friend. I can’t imagine going through life without you as my best friend.
