way they touch, a touch as light as a leaf floati ng in the autu mn air, a touch so strong that years of liv ing could not pull them apart. Frie ndship is see n in a child freely shari ng the last cookie. It is the small arm over the shoulder of ano ther as they walk on the playgro und. Seeing friendship is not casual.
