Our family and friends, they are people we take for granted everyday. Yet we would surely miss them were they called away. Like hearing the birds chirp when spring is on the way, or seeing the sun shine on a summer’s day. Or watching the leaves fall when autumn is born. Or feeling the cold on a winter morn. Our family and friends are just ordinary people, yet we would surely miss them were they called away on an ordinary day.
