When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

Friends will give you advice, but true friends will live through you. They know everything about you and your personality so they know how that must have felt for you. They put themselves in your place and stand there like you in the same state- shocked, sad, happy, you name it...
True friends always have a way of making you smile even in the hard times. I once had a friend who had serious family issues going on in her house. When she told me about it and about her reaction, I screamed and I was almost going to cry. When her problems were solved, I was even more happy than she was. When she told me that her family was going out to go shopping and sent me the things she bought, I felt as if those were my cloths that I bought. I lived through her and she lives through me. We are true friends.
