As A Friend, I am…

img_0384b.jpg

Weekly Question #6 was inspired by the Flame of Friendship post:

Can you describe yourself as a friend? Or how do your friends describe you as a friend?

I can not really describe myself as a friend but I will try to do so without putting too much superlatives about me being a friend.

  • I am an all-weather friend: in times of sunny days when life is good, I am here as well as in times of life’s storms and ups and downs, I am there as well too.
  • I may be able to tell my friends wonderful words of wisdom and prayers but from my mouth will come out tactless remarks, intended or not, that will hurt the others.
  • I may be depended upon to do things for and with my friends but not all the time, especially now that I am married.
  • I am a funny friend and can make my friends laugh easily but I cry buckets of tears, sometimes more than them, even when they are the ones hurt.
  • I may forget birthdays and celebrations not because I am thoughtless but because i am too busy with work and family matters.
  • I am willing the give help when I can and if I can to the friend of a friend of a friend, ok, you got the picture.
  • I remember the fun times as well as the not-so-fun times.
  • I am grateful for the friends I have had and still have. I treasure the moments we have shared. I learned a lot from them and their experiences.
  • I also treasure online friendships with a few bloggers who have not only touched my heart but who I learn valuable lessons from.

Now if you time to spare, here is a link to a written piece entitled On Friendship by Kahlil Gibran.
