I would like to talk about my friend. Her name is Enid. She is in her late 40s. We met when we were in school and we realized that we had a similar characteristic so we struck up a relationship. She is a kind lady. She is middle aged and she is married. She has a very good wisdom in the sense that when you go to her for any counsel, you don’t regret it. Even now, if you have any financial issues, she will always assist. She is of good looking. She is married with children. When we met, she is very intelligent. She can teach you. She can direct you on things to do. She is just a person that has a good will. She has a very good heart. She is my friend. We have been together. Even now that we are married, we are now more family friends. Because our friendship has since returned to now family friends, we have included our husband and children into the relationship. I can tell you that I have not regretted our relationship together because she has been so good and she is at my back and call always there to tell me what to do. She is so frank that even when I had an issue, she has firmly believed the truth about it. She is not the type that would like to support you even when you are going to rock. No, she would tell everything that she tells us. She is a good person and that is why we have been close together. Not that we have not had issues but can easily reconcile because she is a good friend.
