"A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else."
~ Len Wein
Recently, I had to go to a work-related evening function in a part of town that I find difficult to navigate. I reached out to an old friend and asked if he would accompany me. He said yes -- as he has for years. We agreed to meet at his office. When I arrived, he shared that he had just returned from the West Coast on a red-eye flight that morning and that he had also been to the hospital as he had broken one of his fingers shortly after arriving. But he went with me and was the perfect companion, and never complained even as we were the last to leave.
