Egyptian Proverb

"Friendship doubles happinies and halves grief" - Egypt

To me this saying means that friendship not only makes life worth living twice as much, but it also helps take whatever pain someone might have away by nearly half. Whenever my last grandparent died I didn't have much to say, no tears rolled down my face but I could still taste the salt. Even though I sat in silence I knew it hurt, and if I hadn't had friends to help me through it I just can't even imagine what I would do. That was several years ago, and I just had a mass dedicated to her where my entire family showed up in rememberance.
