A true friend will:

- whisper words of encouragement when needed ...

- drop everything and run to your side when your heart is broken ...

- be there to listen, pour tea and make you smile when necessary ...

- offer best wishes from half a world away just because ...

- make you smile and laugh in spite of the tears ...

- stand by you no matter what is happening ...

- help you hide the evidence ...

- take the wrap ...

- help you bind up that broken heart ...

- still love you no matter what ...

and perhaps most remarkably of all:

they are often totally unaware they are doing any of it!!

-----------------------------------------

In many ways, I've been reminded of this today ...

I hope I can be these things to my friends !!

True friends simply and utterly ROCK !!!
