What is the greatest lesson a friend has taught you?
First of all, I would like to say that "friend" means more to me than just an associate, or someone that I might do some things with, or work with, and it's not a casual term IMO, too many people use this term really casually and loosely. I don't. If I consider you my friend, then it means more than what most use this term for. So with that said....
I learned that a true friend is a friend, no matter what others say or do. I had someone accuse me on an inappropriate dealings with a lady friend. An affair to be exact. It wasn't true and to prove it wasn't true, I avoided my friend for a long time. She finally caught me and asked why I wasn't her friend anymore. I explained what had gone on, and she had known who started the rumor and when. It didn't mean anything to her, but she did miss talking with me and wondered if I was still her friend. Though I hadn't acted like a friend, she was still mine. I learned that a friend will stick with another friend no matter what is going on. I should have done that. I apologized for acting like a butthead and we're still close friends. I should have known that my true friend would still be a true friend even though others were suspicious of a "real" friendship.
I think I've learned lots of other lessons of friends, but this is one that just bears remembering.

Friends are soooo important. I've come to notice over the years that its not HOW MANY friends you have that matter, it's the ones that treat you properly and stick by you that matter the most.
