I learned that really quick when I got sick and couldn't do everything for everybody else anymore. They don't even call to see if I'm alright. I just learned it's their own character ungrateful, selfish, disrespectful and unappreciative.

We have always uplifted each other and never have had an angry word between us. She made be a good mother to my son. She is the best person I have ever met. I will do anything for her. My heart is breaking because her physical presence will soon be taken from me. She promises to come back to me as a dragonfly to reassure me she is watching over me still. I thank God every night for sending my sweet friend to me just when I needed her.

Happy to hear these signs. On the other side, I don't know if you can add one more sign: a good friend is one who will be truly happy and be with you in your success in life. I say this becauae, to my thought it would be easier to be with a friend who is in need than to be genuinely staying with a friend who succeed in life and being happy. A fake friend on the other hand will be envious of your success and will not be happy of your achievements.

yes, there is another text in which the Buddha describes who a 'warm-hearted friend' is this way: 1. he who is a helpmate: (i) he guards the heedless, (ii) he protects the wealth of the heedless, (iii) he becomes a refuge when you are in danger, (iv) when there are commitments he provides you with double the supply needed. 2. he who is the same in happiness and sorrow: (i) he reveals his secrets, (ii) he conceals one's own secrets, (iii) in misfortune he does not forsake one, (iv) his life even he sacrifices for one's sake. 3. he who gives good counsel: (i) he restrains one from doing evil, (ii) he encourages one to do good, (iii) he informs one of what is unknown to oneself, (iv) he points out the path to heaven. 4. he who sympathises: (i) he does not rejoice in one's misfortune, (ii) he rejoices in one's prosperity, (iii) he restrains others speaking ill of oneself, (iv) he praises those who speak well of oneself.
