Its not easy becoming a friend or making one because a friend is not a
state of mind. Its real and its in your face. A friend is someone who
makes your life worth its while a little more than yesterday. While
everybody has their own definitions of a "friend", the long and short of
it is we all need friends to make our lives better.

Amen...You can never have too many friends, although it seems sometimes
the older you get, the harder it is to make them for some reason. Anyone
else notice that, or is it just me? -=x

Your friends are Gods way of apologizing for your family.















You laugh. I told that to your family, they laught even louder.LOL

HAHA ghost, Good quality friends are hard to come acorss, so when you do
find one hold on tight and dont let go!!

lol.

true friends are hard to find sometimes.

For some reason I read that last post (4fun06) and thought - a good man
is hard to find and a hard man is g....... never mind. LOL

i swear my freinds are always there when i need them but my family when
i need them i swear all i hear are crickets sometimes

I never have any friend sooo... I don't know what "friend" is????

i have deeper expectations for friends and i hold myself to that for
them as well. most people i know have friends but i would just call them
accquaintances. if you have a friend that you don't trust, that is not a
friend to me. people tend to use the word friend very loosely and would
call anyone that they come into constant contact with a friend but to me
that is just an accquaintance.

I like that Recon!! you're good!

Personally I don't know what I would do without my friends, they have
been there at times when my own family hasn't. Friends don't come
easy for me as I am very strong willed and outspoken. I think at times
that can make some people "standoffish". Some of my dearest friends are
people that I couldn't stand and they couldn't stand me....
Given time, when they get to know me and found that I'm one of the most
honest, trustworthy, loyal, compassionate individuals they've met, I
would give a stranger the shirt off my back - I was able to form very
strong and lasting bonds with them. I'm lucky in that I have a lot of
friends who love me because they really know me! When I stumble, it
seems their hands are always the first to help pick me up. They've got
me through some shit and I have always done my best to do the same, I'm
usually the first person they come to for support. I love em all! Big
and small!! A true friend is a gift!

my freinds are like my second family

I think to have a true friend...you have to know how to be a true
friend! I have been very blessed...I have 3 best friends. They have been
through a lot with me and have never turned their backs on me no matter
what. When I had my cancer, they were there! If I just needed someone to
sit and listen to me cry and not say a single word...they would sit
there and cry with me.
The hardest thing I ever had to do in my life was sit down and write out
where my kids were going to live just in case I did pass away...so my
friends were there during that too! But my very best friend is my
mother--with out her, I don't know what I would do. So I would say that
if you have a true friend, you are very blessed...just don't forget how
to be a true friend in return :)

yeah i hear that you can usaully count your good freinds and your hands
like ive had pretty much the same group of freinds since middle school
