Being there for someone is part of being a true friend. During these times, you are there for them through thick and thin, which is the sign of a true friend, someone who is going to stand by you no matter what. They are the ones who talk with you when you are down even though you may be struggling. They are people who say you can just drop in; you can stay with me when you are in town. These people support and encourage their friends and love them for who they are as a person. Sure, there can be misunderstandings, yet they are often sorted out and the person is there when you need them most.

They may have to say to someone look right now it’s too much for me to support you with what’s going on for me, I have too much on my own plate. Yet they are there for you no matter what it does no matter. No matter what distance you have between you. Being in two different time zones can be hard yet it is what happens.
