Trees start out as a seed

and grow with time.

We planted the seeds of friendship,

and our relationship took off from there.

As our friendship continues to grow,

I appreciate every ring on my tree.

For every ring symbolizes a special event, a laugh, or even a cry.

For you have made a difference in my life.

The events we weather in life make us who we are.

And just as a tree grows roots,

we grow roots.

We develop long lasting relationships.

I want to thank you for being my roots, my stable force.

I know I can count on you.
