Friendship.. We all crave it.  Someone who will stick with us through the good, the bad and the ugly. Someone who won't desert us in our time of need.

Most of us have few if any real friends.  We have lots of associates, people we know and pal around with but, when things really get tough will probably not be there.  They will be too busy living their own lives.

To have a friend we must be a friend.  We need to ask ourselves the hard question, am I acting like a real friend or am I just an associate, using the friendship as long as I get something out of it.
