"A hug is worth a thousand words. A friend is worth more."

if A hug is worth a thous and words and A friend is worth more.

what would you say a best mate and family are

A best mate is in the same category as a friend; seperate from that of family. In that you choose your friend, mate, partner, ect. Whereas family is chosen for you. Friends and mates come and go, but your family stays your family forever.

I want a hug >_>
