"True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation."
It's been a great reality check in recent times & I have realised what amazing friends I have... They never let me feel isolated... they were selfless & were always there for me... they put their hand up and offered help not caring about public opinion. They loved me and cared for me beyond the call of duty.
