I have just a few, but they mean the world to me.
It doesn't matter how much money someone has, or how many talents, or even how many friends. As long as you have a few people who are close to you in your life, everything will be worthwhile. The greatest gift is happiness, and anything or anyone who helps create it has the highest value of all.

"I’d like to say that I have no idea what I did to deserve the people that are in my life."
The people who are in your life are there because you are one of the most selfless, intelligent, and magnanimous guys out there- and that's why we all love you!
