Anyone can stand by you when you are right, but a Friend will stand by you even when you are wrong...A simple friend identifies himself when he calls. A real friend doesn't have to.A simple friend opens a conversation with a full news bulletin on his life.A real friend says,"What's new with you?"A simple friend thinks the problems you whine about are recent.A real friend says,"You've been whining about the same thing for 14 years. Get off your duff and do something about it."A simple friend has never seen you cry. A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names. A real friend has their phone numbers in his address book.A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed. A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems. A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest. A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself.A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.A real friend knows that it's not a friendship until after you've had a fight.A simple friend expects you to always be there for them. A real friend expects to always be there for you!
