What does Friendship mean to you........

[Angelofsex]

Friendship what a big word it is............is it only a word?


Friendship to me means......loving, trusting one another, knowing the person you are friends with means what they say........you are there for one another, with no questions asked..........knows when you are hurting............when then need you........and you them..........to me it is a very big word.


Sometimes you open your heart to friends and they make it bleed.

So tell me what it means to you.

Friendship?

I know what it means to me, but there are times I wonder if it really exists. I have lost many friends in the past year or so, and simply because of life's circumstances.

Friendship needs trust and openess. Friendship needs patience and love. A true friendship will survive the tempest of life's changes and be stronger for it. Friendship means that you are excited and pleased to be with someone long after the spark of the newness wears off.

How uncanny you started this thread. This morning I was thinking about friendships that fade without reason and how sad it makes me.

hugs to you, luvvie!

Ladies,
I couldn't have said it any better.

You have the power to create grace, a blessed, unexplained moment of magic in a person's life. We find ourselves telling each other the deepest details of our lives...things we don't even share with our families.

But what is a friend? A confidant? A shoulder to cry on? An ear to listen? A heart to feel? A friend is all of these things and more.

A word so small, yet so large in feeling, a word filled with emotion, a word overflowing with LOVE! True friendship is a unique bond that lasts through all tribulations.

You have all crossed my path of life in one way or another...some of you I've only bumped into ... some have walked a while with me ... and some of you will continue to walk with me. Each person that has been placed along my life's journey has impacted my life in one way or another and at one time or another.

Friend to me is: faith and loyalty; richness and beauty; interest and sensitivity; everlasting; nourishment and laughter; devotion and compassion.

They encourage, support, trust, believe, and endure.

A nice little oath of friendship:

When you are sad,.............I will dry your tears.
When you are scared,..........I will comfort your fears.
When you are worried,.........I will give you hope.
When you are confused,........I will help you cope.
And when you are lost,........And can't see the light.
I shall be your beacon........Shining ever so bright.
This is my oath...............I pledge till the end.
Why you may ask?..............Because you're my friend.

I guess most of us have the same feeling about friendships............They are very special, but then people makes the word mean nothing.

Art has always been blessed with having friendships, (male/female), along his 58 years. Sometimes, I have sought it out,...other times, it has just happened. I will attempt to describe MY friendship,...though nothing could ever be put into words how it really is,...or how it feels. My friendships are as DIFFERENT as each friend. In 1987,...I had a friend,(84 year old male),who was a local, produce farmer. He subsisted his Social Security pension, by raising a few crops,(hand picking), taking them to the town square in his pick up truck,(in season), and selling to local people.(I could write a BOOK,...about this friend)
When it was weeding time, (hand hoe), in the cornfield, (maybe 10 acres), I used to help him hoe the weeds in the blazing hot sun, with no thought of money ever being discussed. My *REWARD* ? His friendship !!! Many nights, after
the supper table was cleared away, we would play domino's for FUN,(he always won),...SOMETIMES as late as midnight. He has since passed on,...but I loved him,...he was a friend ! I like BEING with my friends, and my friends like BEING with me.

Friendship used to be with anyone who would talk to me but I was continually let down, betrayed, upset and put into a shell that I thought I would go insane from all the hatred in humanity.

All grown up now I have some fantastic friends and my faith in human nature has been restored.

Friendship=those who carry the torch of humanity.

If you betray a friends trust, it can be devastating. Even if it's done in total innocence, the results can hurt beyond imagination. Angel, I know you are hurting from such a betrayal. I just hope time is the great healer that it's supposed to be. You are my friend...

Hugs and kisses Angel

Thank you everyone for your responds.............I just don't know friendships anymore..............Is it just a friend that is a ship that passes in the life.

A friend is someone who knows you. And LOVES you anyway! Someone you can be yourself with, someone who will tell you honestly what they think. Someone who will give you a hug just because you need it, even if you don't deserve it. A friend is that person you want to share your joys and sorrows with, and let them share with you.

Friends are the chocolate chips in the cookies of life.

Friends are the rainbows after the storms.

A day without friends is like a day without sunshine.

You, Angel, are my friend!!! And I am so glad!!!!
