Is one who understands where you have been, accepts who you have become and loves you unconditionally as you are. He does not wish you `luck' as you step out into the unknown... he walks into the void by your side. He will not offer distractions nor easy advice in your time of need... instead he will pray for wisdom, born of compassion, and a willingness to take your pain upon himself.

Such a friend will always speak of you when you are not present, as though you were, and though he may not always share your sunny days, he will always be there to help you through the stormy ones. He is not skeptical of your blooming, nor jealous of your shining apart from him, for he seeks not to steal your joy, but to multiply it.

It has been well said that there is no greater love than this... for a true friend does not take life from you, he gives you his own.
