What Symbolizes Friendship?

What symbolizes friendship is a common question but one that is very difficult to answer because it really isn't what symbolizes friendship but what someone does that determines friendship.

There are so many thing that symbolizes friendship that it is difficult to know where to start. Some people use the term “brother from another mother” (only because sister doesn't rhyme with mother!) because a good friend can be like family.

Some people say that friends are like family you have chosen, and this can be true. I know that there have been times in my life that I probably couldn't have coped without a friend or two.

So, what does symbolise friendship? Well, perhaps it's the way that you don't have to ask a friend for something or to do something because they are thinking of you,they just do it. Perhaps another thing symbolic of friendship is knowing that if you are in a jam or a fix, you can call them.

Only last week I had to call ahead to the school and then call a friend and ask her to pick my daughter up at home time because my train had been cancelled.

I can't think of anything more symbolic of a friendship than trusting my daughters well being with someone.

That very same person, less than a year ago lost a partner and stayed with us for a week so she wasn't alone and to be honest it was less trouble than having some family members over and we felt very comfortable with her in the house. So perhaps feeling comfortable with someone is another thing that symbolizes friendship?

From my point of view there wasn't even a question that she wouldn't stay with us. I remember at the time she was upset and we had a spare room so there was nothing else to say. She refused several times and said the usual “I don't want to be any trouble, it's okay... etc.” but I insisted because it just seemed the right thing to do.

Looking back on it now, I could use the word “unconditional” because I didn't place any conditions on her staying with us, I did it simply because it felt right.

So, what does symbolize friendship? Well, so far we have the feeling like someone is “family”, knowing you can rely on the in a jam or a fix, being able to trust them and unconditional love.

You know, that's not a bad thing to have in your life is it? I feel better already! Sometimes it's just great to know that there is someone there, you don't necessarily have to need someone for help to feel comforted.

It certainly is a cozy feeling to know that your friends are there and you have someone you can talk to, share things with and rely on, and remember, your friends feel the same way about you!

So, what symbolizes friendship? I think it is the things you can't touch but touch you that symbolize friendship.
