"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our
lives means the most to
us, we often find that it is those who, instead of
giving much advice, solutions,
or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our
wounds with gentle
and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment
of despair or
confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief or
bereavement, who can
tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing, and face with us
the reality of our
powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."
