Mary and I yakked until 2 A.M. on Friday night when I stayed over at her house. One of the many subjects we covered was the value of true friendship. It's a fact that, should we get a bit snarky or sharp of tongue, a so-so friend will back away and just think you're a bitch but a good friend will set you straight. I guess that's because only a close friend knows the real you.
A so-so friend will be quicker to judge you critically while a good friend will be concerned if you're acting less than normal. And a so-so friend will be quicker to write you off when you behave badly, too (as we all do at one time or other). Good friends see us through those bad times and do all they can to help.
Really good friends are like family, they're here to stay.
