You know she's a true friend when...

Table set for breakfast
with friends (no picture
from last night).

Last night I experienced the generosity of friends. Firstly, J, who is a fairly new friend, and her husband were supposed to come over for dinner. A few hours before they were due, J called to say that some work had arisen so they would not be able to come. She was very apologetic and even brought over the dessert she had made. Then I called S, who I've known for several years but who has many more long-term friends in her life. The phone rang and rang, and I didn't wait to leave a voicemail. I figured it meant she was already busy and wouldn't be available to fill the spot at dinner. A few minutes later she texted me to ask if everything was ok. I was touched by how caring her response was. Finally, I called another couple who said yes, they'd love to come, despite being tired. In the end it was a fun night and I felt much loved.
