"Dear": A definition

Dictionary.com says that the word "dear" can mean (amongst other things)

"precious in one's regard; cherished".

I understand this meaning, and felt it deeply this weekend as I spent time with precious harrisburgian friends, cherishing every moment and wishing it could be longer.

It made me wish that this obsolete definition was back in style:

"difficult to get; scarce"

because my friends are not only dear to me--

I understand that I am blessed beyond measure.
