Reliability of Friends

In my life I have encountered many different people. The thing that I noticed most about my friends is that they all are reliable. I think being a reliable friend is important. Being reliable to me does not mean just doing physical things for a person. It means being there emotionally, spiritually, financially, and physically. A few years ago, my Fiancé was killed; we had a 3 year old daughter. I called all of my friends and told them about his death. With in the next hour my house was filled with close friend and relatives. A friend, from the neighborhood decided she would take my daughter and her kids skating. I was so grateful to her, because I was a wreck and could not care for my daughter properly that day. More friends came and sat with me, prayed with me and gave me money through out the day. One of my friends never showed up, but she called everyday. A few weeks past, I was home alone and my friend called I told her that I was not in a good mood. She said ok and hung up the phone. About and hour later I heard the door bell, when I got to the door it was my friend. I was shocked to see her she came in and she started to pray with me. Once she finished praying she said that she did not come around during the first few weeks because she knew that my family, his family and other friends would be there. She said she knew when all the people were gone home and had forgotten about my Fiancé. I was going to need someone and that’s when she was there. She sat with me and listened to me tell her countless stories of our time together. My friends showed me that they were reliable and that I could count on them when times got rough. That to me stands out more than anything when you are a friend. Most people that are friend have similar characteristics and I know that if all of my friends were asked they would agree that I am a reliable friend
