It's good to have a lot of friends, but it is more important to have one really good friend.

That kind of friend who, in times of crisis on your part, will do anything to cheer you up and make you smile. That friend who will put your happiness as top priority in these kinds of situations.

A friend who is there to always listen to you, even when you rant. Someone to show you there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel. Someone you can count on and someone who always has a shoulder to cry on. Someone you can trust and someone you can lean on. Someone who will always be there no matter where they might be or what they might be doing.
