An ordinary friend has never seen you cry. A true friend has had a wet shoulder from your tears. An ordinary friend does not know your parents' first names. A true friend probably has their phone number written down as well. An ordinary friend brings a bottle of wine to your party. A true friend shows up early to help you prepare... and stays late to help clean up. An ordinary friend gets upset when you call late. A true friend asks why you weren't able to call earlier. An ordinary friend likes to listen to your problems. A true friend likes to help you solve them. An ordinary friend behaves like a guest and waits to be served when he or she visits. A true friend goes to the fridge and serves himself. An ordinary friend thinks your friendship is over after a quarrel. A true friend knows that friendships get stronger after a quarrel. An ordinary friend always expects you to be there to help out. A true friend is always there to help you out. A true friend? Someone who sticks with you when everyone else abandons you. .................................................................. "A friend is someone I can be sincere with, someone I can think out loud to." Ralph Waldo Emerson

with addition to that, TRUE Friend is someone with whom we can share our lives, thoughts, feelings and frustrations. We need to be able to share our deepest secrets with someone, withour worrying that those secrets will end up on the internet he next day *lol* Real friends encourage one another and forgive one ano another where there has been an offense. Supports each other during times of struggles, and there's unconditional love that develops.
