Adding the word friend

Today I attended a memorial service at our church and God spoke to my heart. A wonderful man of God in our church passed away due to brain cancer and his son said something today that I will never forget...I am summarizing his words,

"My dad was my dad, but he was also my friend."

Yes! My heart jumped. I can't wait for the day I get to add the word friend to my relationship with my children. I can't wait for this to happen!
