What’s a friend?
Love freely, without judgement, with no thought of reciprocal exchange, listening to, laughing with, standing alongside, sharing peaks - and troughs, giving advice with no expectation of it ever being heeded.
This is a friend.
Answering the call, sharing all that can be and giving it gladly, asking good questions with no questions asked, keeping a place when it’s crowded, leaving the space when it’s needed.
This is a friend.
Smiling on meeting or just reading a text, hugging from the heart, finding the words that are exactly what’s needed.
This is a friend.
This is where we write.
This is a friend, indeed! Lovely words, Matthew.
