What friend has made the biggest difference in you life and why?

Oh my gosh. The thoughts of so many people just flushed through my mind I almost went into an overload. The most important friend who made a huge difference in my life is my husband. Why? Because he is the one who has stuck by me through thick and thin, through all these years. Several other people come to mind as well who have had a big impact on my life. Some still in my life today and some who have fallen by the way side for whatever reason. They have all played an important role in my life for one reason or another. I've been fortunate enough to learn something from each and everyone of them. It hasn't always been something I enjoyed, but each one taught me something I value. Thanks for helping me remember them all.
