what a real friend should be...

bff or best friends forever...was a term I learned this week. A student wrote it on his contact card and put his best friend's number down. Got me to thinking...over the years I've had a lot of friends...but are they real friends...so what is a real friend? Honest - I know a lot of people who are honest with me. Sincere - truly want to hear about my day and share with me about theirs (ok...that will weed out about 10 people, I guess those are aquintances or causal friends) I-can-telling-them-anything-and-they-won't-be-shocked friend -- ok that leaves about 3; if I'm stranded on the side of the road...3Then there is always the mom/friend thing..but you know...there are things you just don't tell your parents I don't know how old you get! And that's a whole other blog!Along with that -- there's God...how does he play a role as a friend...it's not like you can carry on a conversation (unless talking to yourself is cool; I don't think so!) and I know he answers in other ways...but how are you to depend on "other ways" when you want an answer NOW! ok, I'm side tracked so let's get back to...FRIENDS

I hope I'm a real friend to someone too!
