TRUE FRIEND

 

When I honestly ask myself which friends in my life mean the most to me, I find that they are those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share my pain and touch my wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with me in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with me in an hour of grief and loss, who can tolerate not knowing, and not try to fix things for me, the one who is just willing to sit with me in my powerlessness, that is a true friend.
