What is a friend?

Sorry, limey... that's painful. Hard to know, sometimes ... my best friend from the time we were 7 years old drifted away a bit as we got into our 20s, and then got married without telling me or inviting me (she was my maid of honor). She had two friends stand up for her - friends I'd introduced her to. They didn't tell me, either. I've never known what that was all about - yet since my diagnosis she has come back, written me twice a week and made surprise phone calls (she lives 12 hours away). So I'm grateful that the pendulum has swung back. I hope it will for you, too, in time.
