CLOSING

Building relationships helps us not only to show how we care for someone, but more
importantly to see how we grow as persons. It teaches us lessons about life that otherwise would
be difficult to learn, lessons about communication, listening, compromise, and giving selflessly
of ourselves and expecting nothing in return - the fruit of overcoming indifference.
