Loyalty Quotes
"Years ago, my childhood friend Steve lost his father. Since Steve had left Tallahassee shortly after high school graduation, we had not seen each other for over a decade. Upon learning of his father's funeral, I made plans to attend to "be there." After the service, I approached the family's receiving line. When Steve saw me, he was stunned that I had made the effort to be there for him. We both cried as we hugged and he said, "I can't tell you what it means to me that you showed up. Showing up sends a message that you are a devoted friend, a team player, a dedicated parent, an inspiring leader, a loyal mate, and more."
