Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 Oh how true this really is... which is probably why I can count my " real " friends on one hand! Take care... -Anne-Louise. 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 brings a bottle of wine to your party. A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean. 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 wonders about your romantic history. A real friend could blackmail you with it. 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!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 To be honest, I'm not sure. My cousin in North Carolina sent it to me with no author attached! So I guess it would not be dishonest to write " Author Unknown " underneath it. =), Anne-Louise. > tink-im <tink-im > > Sat, 28 Apr 2001 01:37:50 -0400 > > Re: ... a simple friend, a real friend ... > > I just loved this.
