Special Friend...

So many people touch our lives in many ways, yet there are a very few who means the most to us. At times it looks as if the person we are interacting with is the one, some times someone else happens to be the one, but when we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. That person may be doing it in his/her own way, but if we analyse we will find out that it is for our good. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. You will find this friend around you whenever you need him/her and he/she is never far away from you in all situations for you. They can understand your feelings without explaining. They can take you through moods in a flash and before you realise you will find yourself in the midst of happiness all around you. That’s the aura of friendship. And you must be wondering what needs to be done to retain such a friend? Nothing much, just be the one like this and you will cherish this friendship for the lifetime…
