Thankfully I have my mom and a small group of close friends who are there for me 24/7 and whom I can trust and depend on.

My mom and I have always been very close. She is my best friend. She had to make a lot of sacrifices early on in my life to make sure I got to do what I wanted to do.

My mom and I are very close.

My mom and I have always been really close. She's always been the friend that was always there. There were times when in middle school and junior high I didn't have a lot of friends. But my mom was always my friend. Always.

I get along with guys most of my friends are guys. It's easier to trust men sometimes. I only have a few close girlfriends that I trust.

I've been advised not to have any more children for medical reasons so that's it - the shop has closed even though I would have loved a daughter.

Honestly being a doctor could make you more close minded than regular people.

Gay marriage has jumped out of the closet on to the front page. Everyone from the president of the U.S. to retired four-star general Colin Powell is embracing the issue now supported by most Americans. Still a few people like former First Lady Laura Bush appear to be conflicted.
