The kind of friend ...

Flipping through the pages of an old note-book, I came across the following writing:

"A fairly good friend will tell u not to worry and that it will all come right.
A perfect friend helps u face the truth and stays beside u, whatever comes"

It took me a while to recall why I had made those notes.
I then realised that it was an SMS I received from someone.
Between good and perfect, a friend in need is a friend indeed.
