In my book, they were never really a friend................

I have learned over the years that most  people in life have only 5 good friends. Now one may argue with my view and that is fine if they really think otherwise.  I know people that have social friends or acquaintances that  number well into the thousands.  Regrettably it is only when the storms of failing health or bad misfortune set in,  that most people finally realize who their real friends actually are. During my lifetime I've met those who I thought were my  friends, only to find out differently.  I've  been blessed to have 2 true friends in my lifetime. Normally a person is lucky to have one. At the end of any day, outside my family, these are the people I know who will always be there for me, come hell or high water.  This post is to say  thanks to those who truly know and understand the meaning of friendship.
