TRUE FRIENDS
When we honestly ask ouselves which persons in our lives mean the most
to us, we often find it 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 and 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.
