Friends come and go in our life. We will be meeting different friends in a different stage of our lives as we grow. There are friends that stay and there are friends that passes. But there can only be few true friends that we can count. And looking back, they are there during a down fall in our life. Do you have a true friend to consider? Or are you a true friend to someone? Are you a stationery friend or a passing friend? Who are you as friend?

Both, stationary and passing. My real true friends have been mostly out of the country, but we have always keep in touch. Friends at work before are still around, but i just can't simply have time to go to them, and vice versa i supposed. Friendship i think to keep going takes initiative to sustain such relationship.

It is friends who are always by your side. A husband for instance becomes your best friend. And a special bond between two friendship can't be forgotten in passing days.

I am a TRUE friend, a LOYAL friend and a FOREVER FRIEND. Others may come and go but I make sure that I treasure my friends everyday of my life. I try to be there for them in the worst possible settings. I also try to be with them forever. oh BTW, I have friends since kindergarten and we still have good communication until today, and I continue to treasure it till the day that I die.

True sender, they are in your most downfall of life. They are your strength and your wisdom of reasoning. Because when you are in deep thought and doubt they are to think of what's best for you.

I think I do have these type of people in my life, I actually am lucky to be able to count with many people. We are just not that close although I tried. Since very young my life has been of moving so it's hard to get that close now, and the times I tried it didn't work out but I know there are a considerable number of friends that'd be there for me if I ask and that I'd be there for them.

Friends may come and go that's for sure. The most important thing is you recognize who they are. And recognize you in their life. Many friends is a lot of fun, it is a joy to our life.

I value people much in my life be it an acquiantance and ofcourse friends and relatives. I hardly forget people even if our relationship have been a short while. For me, I learn from each person. I consider myself a true friend because as a person, I give anything and help in anyway that I can. I made it a point to connect with most friends through social networking sites until now even though we're miles and distance apart. I am saddened though with friends who doesn't reciprocate what I feel about them. Anyway, I know that true friends are the one that I have with me until now.

Being a friend to any one is an asset. Not all had the power to earn the trusts and confidence of others. It can be a humble attitude that makes you get an easy friend. Your character and so as your friend will tells who you really are.

In my opinion, every person have his/her true friend to consider. Unless, if there is one single person who don't want to make friends. If you don't want a friend then how can you expect a friend in return? There goes a saying that says, "tell me who your friends are and i will tell you who you are." Friends are the mirror of your character. If one have no friends then one have no character?

I think that life long friends are something that is very rare to find these days because of the fact that life is changing so quickly and we are never really sure where we are going to be in a year's time at any point. I have a group of three friends who I have known since I was in High School a fair number of years ago, and we have never even been for more than a month or so without seeing each other. I know that I am very lucky that I have such good friends, and I hope that I will still be friends for them in years to come.

At this stage of my life, most of my friends have been neat me for decades. I don`t think that there are many that pass although I can remember such friends when I was younger. I have a couple of friends That I consider family, if not more. WE count on each other and we kknow that we`ll be there if possible.

I have a few friends that I consider really close. I am disabled and need a lot of help. My friends help me out a lot! There are a few that are out of state, but I am sure if they lived closer they would help me also. I consider myself a good friend, however I can't do much to help anyone except listen or talk to them. I still have friends from school (a long time ago). Once I make a friend it is usually for a lifetime and I make sure we keep in touch.

That is good to have a friend near you. In my case, my old good friends mostly are out of the country. Some leave our place to find a more greener pasture. But still they make time to call and say hello.

Hello and I do have a friend like this; my high school sweetheart now husband! He was the kind that I could always turn to and know that I could obtain an honest answer from even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear then. Eventually I came to understand that it was what I needed to hear and came to value what he said and him too. So I am grateful that he is now a part of my life and may he always be. Not to say that we have an absolutely perfect relationship but given some of the horror stories I have heard over the years, it's one of the better ones. :-)

You are right. Friends come and go in our life. Its very easy to make thousands of friend. But it is very difficult to maintain a single friendship for whole life. And its very difficult to find such a friend. As me, i can help my friend as mush as possible.

Finding a true friend is like finding a gold. It is rare and valuable. But when you find it, it will make a whole new world for you. You can laugh together. Cry together. And even fall in love together.

It's a great thought you posted here. Good friends do last forever. In some cases, I was a stable friend and in some, I lost track but got back in touch recently. this includes a small bunch of treasured friends who were there with me through good and bad times.

It doesn't matter if you have small bunch of friends, the most important is they are true of their intentions of being a true friend to you. Like in the saying, "true friends are hard to find." So treasure your friend because they are rare.

Yes, I have a ture friend...He was good and helpful..so I told him the Gospel of Jesus Christ and he also believed in Jesus Christ.One Year ago he got married and his wife is little selfish...which added little bitterness in our life but still our friendship is good...I also consider myself true friend. Once I met a new friend I become his forever friend although i may be far away from him i will never quit friendly love.

Being a true friend is a good trait as person. Because being a friend means touching ones lives. True friend is never forgotten even time passes or even you are oceans apart. Friendship is a gift from Christ to thank for. So be glad that you have plenty of friends to consider.

There are so many friends i've made during my growing stages. But only a few friends have been in contact now, i think they are my true friends. When i was in diffcult stage, i would ask my true friends for help and they always favor me as far as possible. My life would be no meaning without my true friends. And i'm sure i my true friend of others. I always do my best to help my friends. I enjoy helping them and having fun with them.

Right now I have two people in my life that will always be in my life, besides family. My boyfriend is my best friend in the world and we plan on getting married and he'll be a lifetime friend and eventually husband. I also have another really close friend who I think will always be in my life. Her fiance is in the army like my boyfriend and we really understand what the other is going through. We'll talk to each other through the sad times when our loved ones are away and we also share in the happy times. We have a lot in common and since we've met, we've really helped each other get through the tough times we're going through with our guys being in the army.

I had all passing friends. I have friends now whom I have just recently met. It is a journey and we keep passing. I miss those who i am not in touch with anymore but I can't help it. they also moved on and have new friends now. Life is this way i guess especially to those who have moved away from home and have been migrating. Once settled in a place for long can be a factor of having good long lasting friends. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

I have few number of true friends. For me true friends are those who remain true to you in any situation and no matter what. I had a best friend, we had a huge issue we didn't resolve right away. We value each other so much that when we we've been hurt by each other, we had long time to heal and deal with it. We had cool down and remained quiet for almost six years, then after those years plus the heart talk, Whoala! We're back on track again, together as best buddies again. More counting years to go:)

All my friends will always stays in my heart both those who hurts me the friends that is still with me today. I would always remember all of them even though I don't see them anymore and even those that passes away. But I suggest that we should treasure the friends we have right now co's friends come and go, at least if they go, you have good times with them and thinking about it in the future refreshes a weary heart.
