Have you ever been in a hurry or had some important work to do, but suddenly someone showed up at your door or gave you a call? You didn't want to pick up the phone or open the door, but you just knew that it was the right thing to do? THat is what a real friend is for. Maybe your task is utterly important and it has to be done, but you will still at least open the door or answer the call and tell the person that they are so important to you, but you just have to get this done. But, you would love to wake up earlier tomorrow in order to spend some time and to have a real chat with the person no matter what?
That is what a true friend is about!
Or maybe you are in the midst of your holiday when a friend suddenly has trouble. Maybe someone get sick and they need someone to watch their kids. It will be a nightmare for you to step in, but you just know that it is the right thing to do!
And yes, that is what makes the sentence from Leo Wein so true, once again!
A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else. (Leo Wein)
Do you have people that makes you feel this way? Do you have people who would throw everything aside in order to be there for you? And do you have people that you would do anything to help if they would need it?
