A friend (A REAL FRIEND), emailed this to me the other day and I thought I would share it :-)

A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.
A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps
herself and doesn't even feel the least bit
weird shutting your 'Pepsi drawer' with her
foot!

A simple friend has never seen you cry.
A real friend's shoulder is soggy from your tears.
 
A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party.
A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.

A simple friend hates it when you call after they've 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 wonders about your romantic history.
A real friend could blackmail you with it!

A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.
A real friend calls you after you had a fight.

A simple friend expects you to always be there for them.
A real friend expects to always be there for you!

There's so much to do to be a real friend.  I hate the soggy shoulders, but I appreciate a real friend when I see one!

Never mistake a true friend for a friend

Friends are the ones you keep for life, unfortunately others will come and go

Enjoy the day

Real friends can still get on your last nerve, but that just means they matter to you.  Thanks for the post.
