Friendship Day in Paraguay

It's friendship day in Paraguay today. The cell phones are running hot with sms, wishing everybody a happy day and thanking friends for their friendship. I got the first sms at 6 this morning. The best message i received was also the shortest (from my sister, Caroline): "My sister, my friend. Love you!"
Kleenex, please!
