At age 42, I finally figured out that people are the most important thing in life. All of the previous years I made time for them, but often they were interfering with the things I wanted to get done. Today, I will always make time for them, no matter what I am doing. Life feels better now that I have it right.

Enjoy them while you can. I started losing close friends in my 30s... and it is accelerating rapidly at 63! {:-( I just have to take comfort in having them for as long as I could.
