This Irish symbol, dating from the 16th or 17th century, represents friendship, loyalty, and love.
The hands signify friendship...the crown signifies loyalty...and the heart signifies love.
I believe that life is best experienced when it is shared with others. We celebrate, we mourn, we dream, and we pass through our days amid a collection of people we call 'friends.' There will be times when we extend our hearts to others, and in turn, there will be times when we must open our own hands to receive the heart of a friend.
Truly, if we can hold on to the love and loyalty of dear friends, then we can make it through the storms of life. Perhaps Clarence the Angel from the movie It's a Wonderful Life said it best: "Remember George, no man is a failure who has friends."
