No More Best Friends Quotes. QuotesGram

At church, one summer day I met Jordan, he was a boy quite wild and out of line; Came back as a teen and let the Lord in, and at eighteen was looking quite divine. He helped out at Vacation Bible School, and we became the very best of friends; Jordan was calm, kind and followed each rule, we were just like a couple of bookends. Jordan came back years later, a teacher, he was forty, married and had one child; my old friend's big smile was his best feature, and like Jordan, his son was a bit wild. Friends come into our life and ever stay; no matter where their long journey may stray.

Like father like son indeed. I'll bet too that Jordan's child/children turned out like him. Congratulations on your win in my contest.
