forgiveness

today a friend of mine who was admittedly mad at me called, explained, told me he loved me, asked for forgiveness and laid a good foundation for future communication.  it was the most mature act of friendship i've experienced in a long time.  especially after i definitely had some faults of my own.  it was such a rare act of humility, kindness, commitment and friendship.  i hope it emboldens me to do more of the same.
