I realized what true friendship looks like when my uncles' friend brought him a whole rack of home smoked ribs unprompted and just left immediately afterwards.

Chuck, you are an inspiration to us all.

That story could have ended very differently, you are very lucky to have that friend. I hope you showed your appreciation.

Yes, exactly. I'm a seasoned traveler and have never allowed myself to get anywhere near that point when traveling (never like that at home, either), but I had just had a nasty breakup and my ex-fiance was originally supposed to be on that trip with us. I slipped, and she was there to catch me.

We're still very close and I'm now her daughter's honorary aunt. I'll always be supportive and there for her. I felt that way before this event, and it just solidified that I'd made a great choice in friends. Love her so much. :)
