I posted a picture on my Instagram account
https://www.instagram.com/terryhelwig... of a sun-bleached dolphin bone that curves perfectly inside my closed fist; it is approximately the length of three-pound weight. My friend Sue and I delighted to find it one afternoon washed up on the beach of a nearby barrier island. Not only do we love dolphins, but it seemed to us that the bone also symbolized the indestructible nature of our friendship.
Since friendship is about give and take, we decided to share the bone. Sue displays the bone in her study six months of the year and I display it near my desk the other six months. We have passed it back and forth for over twenty years.
Life-long friendships are like bone—enduring and indestructible.
