So, this tree will be split into the Mendez and the Lozano trees.

Friends:

• will disappoint me---and its not the end of the world. People will disappoint me, friends or not. Its part of being human, and its a two-way street. Its not intentional, and they are still my friends.
• There are people I don't see often, yet it never feels like time has escaped us when its time to meet up again.
• Holding grudges, though hard to avoid, doesn't help a friendship.

Life:

• is best when laughed at.
• is better with people to share it with.
• is still unfolding, and should be taken one day at a time.
• Everyone feels lost, fearful, alone, joyous and complete at some time or another.
