I miss the Fantastic Four. I wish they still printed their comics. Maybe now that Disney was able to retrieve the rights to the FF we’ll see the Fantastic Four again. They were so very important to me growing – I loved that they were a family. They had their issues but worked through it together. Working together was the key to their success.

Partners

“If it were simply me against the unknown, I truly believe I would have collapsed by now under the daunting enormity of finding new challenges. But what I’ve learned over the course of our careers is that working alongside good partners makes all the difference. As long as you’re with friends there’s no limit to the adventure out there.” - Mr. Fantastic, Reed Richards *

The day Reed Richards talked his friends into a rocket and the four were doused by cosmic rays, their lives were changed fantastically. Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic and the leader of the “Fantastic Four” have five friends he chooses to call family. Sue his wife is his passion, Ben his stability, Johnny his imagination, and his children Franklin and Valeria are his heart. With out these people his life would be boring and lonely. Even to a superhero, partners, friends and family are important.

We all have people in our lives. There are people at work, there are neighbors at home, there are people sitting next to us on the bus, so why go through life alone? There are adventures to be had, there are challenges to meet and there are conversations to share. The joy of life is found in walking and talking with people. Take the risk and share, there are friends waiting. We do not have to go through life alone. Life is an adventure to share with a friend. Call a friend for coffee today.
