Pay It Forward.
Gift future generations in proportion to your gratitude.
The nature of life is that we pay forward

One of the greatest titles we can have is "old friend."
We never appreciate how important old friends are until we are older.

when a busy life and changing geographies
can cause us to neglect those friends.
Today is the day to invest in those people
we hope will call us "old friend" in the years to come.

and in severe cases, a condition termed co-dependency.
