I came across this article quite a while ago, but lately, I can’t help but think that some people NEED to read this to remember what friendship is all about. So I now post this here in the hopes that those who i once considered as my REAL friends will be reminded that friendship is not only for the happy-picture-perfect moments or only for those heart-breaking-soggy-shoulder times, but also for those mundane days in between. And happy belated Friendship Day…

"Anyone can stand by you when you are right, but a REAL Friend will stand by you even when you are wrong…"

A simple friend identifies himself when he calls.

A real friend doesn’t have to.

A real friend says, "You’ve been whining about the same thing for 14 years. Get off your duff and do something about it."

A simple friend has never seen you cry.

A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.

A simple friend doesn’t know your parents’ first names.

A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed.

A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.

A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems.

A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.

A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.

A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself.

A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.

A real friend knows that it’s not a friendship until after you’ve had a fight.

So…. what kind of a friend are YOU???
