At first I felt you were making light of the Holy Spirit as just an ordinary friend. But as I read further I began to understand He is closer and more dear than any human friend. And He puts up with my sin and shortcomings, choosing to live inside me as a Friend in spite of my human-ness.

If your life story does nothing else, it certainly leaves an example for your family, friends, and readers to trust and follow God throughout their lives as you have done.
