The old adage says "show me your friend, I will show you who you are"
There are different types of friend, some are Platonic, some intimate and others casual. In whatever form they come or how you categorize yours, your friends are your friends.
The only friend you should stick to and that worth the stress of labouring for is a the friend show up and stay put in the days of your trial.
When you have enough to spend and spare, you will see many friends around, everybody wants to associate with you, but when things go wrong and it seems things are falling apart, you only see few of your friends, those that stay with you in the times of trouble are your real friends.
Do you have a friend indeed? take care of them and don't allow them to slip away. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Yours sincerely,
