"Once you make a friend, a friend never leaves you, even to death. So a friend is really hard to find."
--Wallace Black Elk, LAKOTA

Once, an Elder told me he made a decision to be my friend. He said this friendship wasn't based on my behavior or how I acted; he said the friendship was based on his decision. He decided to be my friend. This friendship has happened like he said. Even if I don't see him for a long time, or if I get mad at him, he has never changed his decision. This is true friendship.

Great Spirit, I'm glad you are this kind of Friend.

Yes, this is so true. A real friend won't walk at the first sign of trouble. Or disagreement. A real friend is there, even when you haven't seen them for a year or longer. We get together like it was yesterday.
I've been fortunate to have a real friend.
Thank you for sharing.
L'Chaim!

Good reading, Doug. A true friend sees the good in me, even when I am at my worst.
