International Friendship Day was celebrated on July 30th. The test belsimple reminder of what makes some friends your best friends.

Some friends know how to be a polite guest in your home. An authentic friend opens your refrigerator and helps themselves.

Some friends have never seen you cry. A dear friend has shoulders that have been soggy from your tears.

Some friends don’t know your parents' first names. A close friend has texted your parents.

Some friends bring a dish to your party. A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to clean up ... and knows where you keep everything.

Some friends hate it when you call after they’ve gone to bed. A humble friend asks why it's been so long.

Some friends want you to be more like them. A true friend loves you just as you are.

Some people think that a friendship is over after an argument. A weathered friend reaches out with a well-timed phone call.

Some friends expect you to always be there for them. A selfless friend knows that they will always be there for you!

Friendship Day is a reason to celebrate all your real friends who allow you to be the same for them
