A true and good friend may not be the one that phones and texts you everyday or the one that you go out with every weekend, but she's the one that will always be there for you when you need her and you can count on in times of crisis. It is her kitchen table that you will go to for a chat and a moan, and her shoulder that you will be able to rely on for a good cry! And her words of wisdom that will pick you up each time you're down.

I agree, i see my best friend maybe once every two weeks even less actually. we talk on the phone abot the same, and she only lives down the road! But we dont need to be in each other's lives everyday, we both got each other random xmas gifts and she bought me the perfect present and vise-versa even though we hardly see each other or talk we still know what the other person likes and feels. You can tell if a friend is worthwhile and really good if they can give up the time to come visit you, ring you, email you anytime. when your upset they dont say dont worry get over it. i've got to go. they'll go over and bring chocolates.(like i've done!)
