Several years ago my wife threw me a surprise party after I had completed my masters degree.  It was a fun party, made even better by the friends that were in attendance.

This week I go an invitation to a friend’s party celebrating the completion of his PhD.  After I read the invite I thought about the fun memories I have with friends during my party and replied to the invite with, “We’ll be there!”

Whenever you have an opportunity to celebrate a significant event with a friend, take advantage of it.  They’ll appreciate your support and you will likely create some great memories.
