Cheers to friendship

All last week was a tense time for me & my sis as our mom was sick with viral fever. We kept calling her up morning & night to check on her. As she stays alone, we knew we had to rely on relatives but more on her friends. Her friend has turned to be a true saviour as she was constantly visiting with food and reassurance. Mom was really depressed as she probably thought it was something serious and she would not be as before. Well, she got the proper diagnosis and now on her way to recovery. Most of us expats have gone thru this scene before or heard a close friend describe one. Do we realise the importance of friendship? Everyone runs after friends, but rarely is one. .
I have many friends but only a few true gems. To recognise and to nuture such a friend is a pleasure and a responsibility. How many of us really understand this?
