Contemplating the Word Friend

What is a friend? A friend is someone you can count on at all times no matter what. A friend is someone who has your back at all costs. A friend is someone who sees all your qualities good and bad but still accepts you at the end of the day. A friend is trustworthy. A friend speaks up when he sees you slipping. A friend pushes you to meet your goals even if he knows it might make you mad. A friend does his best to hold you up when you fall. If you do fall, however, a friend picks you up regardless of your mistakes. Friendship, genuine friendship, is a unique and amazing relationship full of love. Some people go through life without ever knowing this relationship. Some people are blessed and have more than one true friend. My hope is that I am as good to my friends as they are to me.
