"The ocean of life is conquerable....with a lifejacket"
I once had a dream. A father was teaching his only son about the ocean of life. In a gentle tone, he began: "My son, precious child. Together we stand at the threshold of on ocean. So serene the waters appear. Know, understand, there are undercurrent too strong to conquer on your own. The greatest gift I can give you, is a lifejacket. "My son, choose not for colors, but for quality. Take thought to tie the knot carefully. Once you do, my boy, the lifejacket will stay at your side forever. "The water is wet, there are stormy seas ahead. Alifejacket will not keep you dry. But, it will keep you afloat and support you always. "There are times when lifejackets tear. Patch them up my son, for they are too precious to discard. Look ahead, my boy. Enjoy life to its fullest. You will always survive if you have a lifejacket" With this piece of advice, the son went to greet the ocean of life, I woke and thought about the father's advice, I appreciated its truth.Life appears simple, as we begin. But there are hidden trials lurking about. Life is too difficult to conquer on your own. But with a friend...Choose not for outer appearance but for quality. Be thoughtful and giving to them as well. Once you do, your true friend will stay at your side foreverLife can cause tears. There can be rough times ahead. A friend wont miraculously turn your world pink, but it will help you cope. And support you always.There are times when even good friendships have their rough spots. Patch them for they are too precious to discard. Look ahead, enjoy life to its fullest. You will survive for the ocean of life is conquerable- once you have friendship.

so pretty much...you'll be good with just a life jacket. whether its a kiddie dolpin one that doesnt close over your boobs (but is SUPER cute) or if its one of those super sized ones that you swim in. the dolphin ones ALWAYS cuter but hey whatever floats your boat.
gitty i'm cracking upfrom u. esther did u write that/???? wow.
gitti you are hilarious!! i will never ever foorget that dat whitewater rafting with you. that was suc a great day! esther- i was thinking the moral was torah, and not friendship. life is the ocean and torah is there to guide you and help u through it like the life jacket. the best thing our parents can give us is that life jacket before we get into the water, so too torah before we go out into the dark world. i dont know. anywyas nice piece.
Esther, you dream such spiritual dreams!
Glad to be your lifejacket

I am totally with you on this. Friends are one of the most integral part of your life and one of the most essential factors in your spirtual success. Friends are so precious and they are so easily taken for granted!
