Life is all about meeting new people and building relationships. You meet new people every day, even when you don't realize it. We all know, that many people come and go in our lives, but it is the ones that stay around and want to be involved in your life that make your heart and world brighter. It is about the ones that make an impact on us, that touch us the most. Life is a roller coaster ride...literally. It can be fun, happy, sad, thrilling, difficult and that's the beauty of it. You are going to come in contact with people that you would've never in a million years thought you would cross their path. Some will stay, and others will leave. It is the ones' that stay that mean the most. Yes, you are going to have a lot of friends, coworkers, family members, etc., but we all have that one person in our lives that we connect with the most in the sense, who we don't hesitate to call up when we have happiest of news and on the other extreme the most horrendous news. You know that someone is going to be the first one to want to truly hear about that exciting thing that happened today or the first one that will drop everything to come to your house if something tragic happened in your life. That someone you put the most trust of yours into their hands. That someone who helps others' before they help themselves. That someone who just "gets it." Someone you call your "person."
