All I can say to you is this, God bless you precious friend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of eachother everywhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16830]]></link><description><![CDATA[We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of eachother everywhere.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16831]]></link><description><![CDATA[A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16832]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it hurts to look back,m and you're too scared to look ahead, just look beside you and your best ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16833]]></link><description><![CDATA[When it hurts to look back,m and you're too scared to look ahead, just look beside you and your best friend will be there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A faithful friend is a strong defense: and he that hath found one hath found a treasure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16834]]></link><description><![CDATA[A faithful friend is a strong defense: and he that hath found one hath found a treasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good friends are like stars...you don't always see them, but you know they're always there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16835]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good friends are like stars...you don't always see them, but you know they're always there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will be near you when you cry if just to say I sympathize and when it's more than you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16836]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will be near you when you cry if just to say I sympathize and when it's more than you can take, I'll watch the tears fall from your eyes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never shall I forget the time I spent with you.
