Message in a Bottle and Friendship

Oh, friendship. Wonderful, cherished friendship -- what would we do without it? Great friends get us through our most difficult times, force us to laugh through our tears. They lend us money when we spent our last bit on dinner, buy us endless rounds of drinks after a particularly rough day at work. They make hilarious speeches at our wedding, show up without prompting to our grandmother's funeral and always, always, always have a spare piece of gum. They're parents when we've lost ours, significant others when we don't have them and teachers when we didn't realize we needed teaching. And yet, despite all the efforts, the unspoken unconditional love, we never seem to find the perfect way to say thank you. Sure, we return all their favors, reach out to them in the same way they have for us, but in our hearts it rarely seems like enough. How can we even begin to express out love and respect for our best friends?
