One who is there for you regardless of the place time or circumstances, who stands behind you right or wrong and whether they agree or not. One who will give you the last penny they have to their name if you need it.... A person who loves you regardless of your flaws...

My truest friend came to my house every day when I had sciatica so bad I couldn't stand up. She made me a thermos of soup to keep by my bed. She lifted me out of the bed and drove me (practically screaming) to the chiropractor every day because I wouldn't go to the hospital. She helped me shower and changed my clothes. I'm crying as I write this because I can't believe how lucky I am that she is my friend. And I hope I deserve her.

A true friend is a gift. If you have 5 or 20 treat them as you would want to be treated always.. :-4

Many people will walk in and out of your life. But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart. To handle yourself, use your head; To handle others, use your heart.

I am very fortunate to have 5 or 6 very very good friends. They like you for who you are. You can be yourself with them. They feel for you if your sad, they are happy for you when goo things occur. You dont have to talk to them everyday. When you do, you pick up right where you left off, like it was yesterday.I cant count the number of acquaintances Ive had. There are very many.

They love me for who i am.. I talk to them every single day.. They are the best friends in the world to me. I could not have made it this far without them in my life right now and then..Lucky you

Thank you Godiva... I try to be ....

A true friend to me is also someone that you trust completely. No reservations, no lingering doubts, no second-guessing. I would say I have five true friends in that regard (three female, two male) that I totally trust and would do just about anything for them.

a kindred soul who listens to you. a person who is not a 'fair-weather' friend, but who stands by you thru the lows as well as the highs.
