True friends everywhere

A colleague’s brother died of cancer on Monday. I was at the wake two nights ago. Many friends and relatives turned up to pay their last respects. Like me, most of those friends were not even acquainted to the deceased but were friends of his sisters. Why were we there? We did what true friends would do, give moral support to the family of our friends at times of sadness. Two neighbours whom the family have not met for 30 years also turned at the wake. Don’t they count as true friends too?

True friends are everywhere. Sometimes we don’t know how to show our affection for them. At other times we are just too caught up with our day-to-day living and momentarily neglect them but I believe we all care for them. We just need to constantly remind ourselves it’s better to remember them when they are still with us rather than wait till they are gone.

Do what true friends would do…show care and concern for your friends whenever you can.
