“The strong bond of friendship is not
always a balanced equation; friendship is not always about giving and taking in
equal shares. Instead, friendship is
grounded in a feeling that you know exactly who will be there for you when you
need something, no matter what or when.”
~ Simon Sinek
I recently
had to ask one of my dearest mom friends if she could not only take my children
to an after-school activity, but also keep one of my children for the evening
as it was Back to School Night at one of the schools. I felt badly – two asks – but she agreed the
way she always does as if it’s no big deal. I told my friend that my son, who would be at her house, would do his homework or study, which I knew he could do on his own and quietly. When I got home, my son told me that my friend offered to help him study and that she ended up quizzing him on the
words he was studying for Spanish. Not
once, but twice.
