loyalty is the essence of true friendship
it means to stand by someone
support them through thick or thin
to accept them warts and all
to defend when others demean
to intervene when bias bubbles
loyalty is a true gift, treasure those who have it!
Sorry still on holiday, am trying to catch up … be home in a week!

It is for sure a true gift and I am so lucky to have some very loyal friends.
Enjoy your time away, sis. That’s a lovely video and such an amazing pic.

Blessed I am to have some friends who have always been there and life seems meaningless without them. Advising me, cheering for me, scolding me and crying with me, never judging, they make life beautiful.
Beautiful reminder. 🙂

Yes, they are the family we have outside our family and what makes them all the more special is that the bond is not of blood, but love and trust.
(Interestingly when I click on my name in the comment section it takes me to my blog. Let me have a look again. And I’ll send you a message)

There are few blessings in life as invaluable as having a loyal friend. A few of my former teaching colleagues fulfilled this role. Kate, I am pleased you have some time to unwind.
