I was recently in a meeting and, as an icebreaker, all of the participants had to state something that went well for them recently. What did I say? "I value friendship. In the last couple of weeks, all of my friends have shown me why I consider them friends." So, let me tell you the actions of my friends that led me to say that.
True Friends:
- Tell you, "Mi casa es su casa" and mean it. I can call 30 minutes before I arrive and she opens her house to me.
- Come and visit you everyday when you're visiting home even though their in the midst of a family reunion and family means so much to them.
- Say, "I'm pissed off for you!" - They go to bat for you....as I would them.
- Send you personal "Happy Thanksgiving" texts rather than standard group texts. - I hate group texts.
- Go with you when you're trying something new and scary.
- Refer to you by their own made up nickname. LOL!
- Allow you a limitless amount of time to just sit on the phone and cry until you're able to get out a full word. - This happened.
- Understand your love for Patron, bring you an entire bottle, and stay up til 2am talking about nothing even though they must be at work the next morning.
- Drop everything to take you to the airport, no matter how far away it is, and not ask for gas money.
- Drive two hours to see you and catch up.
- Tell you that you can do anything and follow up with their reasons why. :-)
- Listen to your never ending woe is me saga. And there is no judgement.
- Write this on your Facebook page - As always, great time together. I value the hours sometimes minutes that we share, my friend. Thank you for your friendship!
I'm grateful to call them FRIENDS. I'm blessed.
