Dear Friend,

With all that happens in life on any given day, we oftentimes forget what is most important to us all. With that in mind, I wanted to take a moment to dash off this short note to you.

Your friendship has been a key element of my life all of these years. I simply would not have been able to enjoy the good times in life as much as I have if you had not been around. And, of course, I do not think it possible for me to easily have survived the difficulties life dishes out from time to time had you not been at my side.

Too often friends are taken for granted. But, I suppose that it is not unlike the manner in which people take the air that we breathe for granted as well. But, in the end, it begs the question to ask where we would be without the air that we breathe.

Here's to you and to many more years of our invaluable friendship.

Your friend,

Vipul Chaudhari
