Have you ever had a friend that always seemed to busy to hang out, chit chat, return calls, or even respond to a simple text message asking them if they were still alive? I have a few friends like that. Now don't get me wrong, I understand that people are busy and have their own lives to live. But it amazes me how one friend never has time to talk unless I'm talking about going to the club. What kind of friendship is that?
I have another friend who is unhappily married with a child. He works an insane number of hours due to being in the medical profession, yet whenever he realizes too much time has gone by, he sends me a text or calls to let me know he's okay. I wouldn't say that I'm a worry-er, I just like to know that those nearest and dearest to me are being taken care of...darn maternal instincts.
I have one friend, an ex, who actually left my life for a few months just to get himself together. He didn't understand how I could always be there for him despite the way he treated me in the past. It was precisely at that moment that I realized I had been given an amazing gift. I may not be the smartest nursing student or the best pharmacy technician. I can't run a marathon or bike the Tour de France. But I can be an understanding friend. I can be a hugger, a shoulder to lean on, a person to share laughs (and tears) with. I am a friend. No matter what someone may put me through, I understand the meaning of true friendship.
At the end of the day, I'm the friend who is always there no matter what.
