“A person attached to another by feelings of affection”: I think the photo montage below speaks for itself?
“A person who gives assistance and support”: Just like the friends who immediately rallied around me and my family after I sent them all a text saying my Dad had died unexpectedly. Visits, hugs, offers of help, phone calls, texts, cards, flowers, emails, attending the funeral, they were all there.
And I am very, very grateful for their existence, their presence and the warmth and joy they bring into my life.

There’s an awful lot of dancing in you life, it seems! Lucky you!!!!
It comes and goes! But we do like a good party…
Great post! Love the montage x
Thank you!

‘Legs up peeps the camera is out’ !
LOL!! I cannot remember WHY we decided to do this, but I do know that we were all in stitches!!
You lot look like a fun bunch, you’re partying in almost every photo lol
Hem, yes, there have been some memorable parties…
The thing I love most is when I can get my friends living in Switzerland, in the UK and in Germany all together!
friends are amazing when you know they are there when you need them most xx
Yes, I think I fully realised how important my friends were when my Dad passed away. xx
Now that is a great friend – the kind that shows up when things are rough, lucky you
I am very lucky indeed… xx
It’s the best thing to be surrounded by people who genuinely care about you and whom you can count on in times of trouble.
Sorry to hear about your dad’s sad passing, I lost my dad too and I miss him terribly
Big hugs xx
Indeed, I feel really blessed. It is a few years now that my Dad passed away, but reading this definition of “friend” brought it all back to me, vividly (yes, I did cry!). So sorry that you lost your Dad too, I do miss mine loads still. Big hugs back. xx
Lovely that they were there when you needed them.
Lovely indeed. I am very grateful! Thanks for stopping by.
there are many definitions for friendship but none does justice to what it really feels like to have friends.
through thick and thin … it`s a blessing to have them!!
It is a blessing indeed… We are lucky! xx
