Tonight we attended a picnic to celebrate the end of the year with Friendship Circle.  Coco’s best buddy, Rebecca, is graduating.  Rebecca’s friendship, and everything about Friendship Circle, has been the greatest gift to Coco.  Tonight, Rebecca and Coco exchanged letters about what this year and this friendship meant to them.  Coco expressed her feelings in a poem.

For Rebecca

A GOOD FRIEND IS THE CURE FOR LONELINESS

A BEARING TO KEEP YOU STRAIGHT ON YOUR ROAD

A CANDLE IN THE DARKNESS

AND A BALM TO YOUR HEART.

EVERYONE NEEDS FRIENDS LIKE THAT. REBECCA YOU ARE MY FRIEND.
