A True Friend

Define friend please. What does this word mean to you? What do you expect from a person who you call friend? What does it mean to you to be a true friend?  I am convinced that everyone yearns for friendship, whether they admit it or not. I'm sure you can think back to the time when you were 4 and making friends seemed as easy as pie. You know, when nobody cared about the superficial things and you could just play carefree.  Of course it is still possible to have friends as an adult, but it seems to take a little more effort on both sides of the friendship. Then again, things only get complicated when you decide they are. Oh, what am I trying to say?  It seems like now that I am an adult, wife, mother, I don't expect the same type of friendship relationship that I had when I was younger. Not that I don't think it's important or that it can't be done, but I think that life is just different now. We all have responsibilities, things need to be done, etc.
