“One of the sweetest things in life: a letter from a friend.”

I’ve learned that no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.

I’m always on the lookout for something good about people. Often months go by.

Don’t rule out working with your hands. It does not preclude using your head.

If they are still standing by your side when your armor is off. When your walls are down. When your heart is broken. And your scars are visible. Tuck them into your arms like gold. And do not let them go.

I’ve got friends in the different teams I’ve played for, but family is the most important thing to me. That will always be the case.

Yet I also believe that when you do unto others, blessings come to you as well. So if you don’t have a friend, be a friend. If you are having a bad day, make someone else’s day. If your feelings are hurt, heal those of another.
