Welcome!
Hello my dear friends! 😃 So you must have guessed what we're celebrating today and what this thread is all about, right?! 😛 😆 Today we celebrate friendship, the loving, understanding relationship between friends and their value in our lives. 😊 Of course, this special day is called friendship day! 😃Firstly, wishing you all a very happy friendship day! 🤗 Friendship can be a special relationship shared by anyone. That can be your mom, dad, brother, sister, uncle, aunty and even your pet and your teddy! 😃 ❤️ This is a relationship that has no boundaries at all. You can be friends with anyone because this is a bond that is shared straight for your heart and your feelings are always felt and heard by your friends no matter what. ⭐️ A friend is someone who is always there for you when you need a shoulder to cry on or need some advise! 😃 They laugh with you, cry with you, share things with you, talk with you and what not! 😳 This is a sweet bond which gives people a joy that there is always someone in the world who listens to them, cares for them and most importantly loves them for who they are. ⭐️ A true friend will never judge you, ignore you or betray you. Many people come and go in our lives, but a friend always remains, in our heart. ❤️ Friends are eternal. :) They will always be there for you in every path of life so when you trip over a stone in the path of life, they will handle you and stop you from falling. You can share your feelings with them without worrying about what they will think about you because the other half of your personality is shaped by them/their opinions about you so they will understand you the best! They will wipe your tears, share your joy and listen to your feelings. 👏 This day celebrates the respect, love, care and concern and understanding that friends have. 😊 There's not really any history or specific information about this day which I can share with you as it was just a simple day created to celebrate friendship many many years ago just like we celebrate other relations such as Mother's Day or Father's Day etc. 😳 But I have shared some facts below which you can see! ;) So let's all get together and celebrate this unique day in the most friendly way possible of course and acknowledge the friendships we have in India-Forums, this forum (CID Forum) and even in real life! 🤗There are big ships and small ships but the best ships are friendships! 😎
Happy Friendship Day!

A friend is somebody
Who knows you and likes you
Exactly the way that you are...
Someone who's special
And so close in thought
That no distance can ever seem far.
A friend understands you without any words,
Stands by you when nothing goes right...
And willingly talks over problems with you
Till they somehow just vanish from sight.
And whether you're neighbors or live miles apart,
A word from a friend gives a lift
To your heart and spirit that shows you once more
Why friendship is life's dearest gift!
"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."
