It is a blessed thing to have a friend, one whom you can trust totally, one who knows the worst of you and the best of you, with your faults known. Seizing friendship? It is to hang in, to stay connected, to fight for your friend, and to let them fight for you.
A friend defends in your absence. It is the glue that holds life and faith together. With only two friends in the world, and suddenly losing them, how can a man make it on his own? And that after he kills a man and is on the run for his life. No friends, no money, no joy, and now no mother or father. Truly alone and on his own. But he finds a way. He can make it big. He can be successful and have more than enough money... until.
Like Sacrates said, "There is no possession more valuable than a good and faithful friend." Maybe Lee can discover the truth of that. Maybe.
