Real friends are those who stick by yu in good times and in bad, and to be honest Kristi, many people forsake you in bad times...gosh even the ones you were generous to.
One particular one who broke her leg (she's a drama queen) I took her to the art gallery, pushed her wheelchair, took her to lunch, did her hair, and when things went pear shaped (nothing too major) for my husband and me, guess who was nowhere to be seen?
It leaves you wondering just what a true friend is. I'm a little cynical now, to be honest.
