They listened to me
Never judged me
Let me know they cared
Laughed with me/cried with me.
Most importanly, they never gave up on me.
Of course its a two way street.What does friendship mean to you?
My best friend pushed me to my limits; he made me cry,he pissed me off;he showed me that it was ok to let the anger out, to heal.He gave me words of encouragement, he gave me hugs,he gave me his friendship. Thank you for sticking it out with me; without you,I would've given up years ago.

For me it means having someone who accepts me for all my faults and flaws.Someone who's able to forgive me for my shortcommings and to realize that I'm only human and not perfect.

A friend who's there for me just because.
So true, I can be a right pain when i'm feeling down

Exactly, that's what I think and feel about friendship. Especially the two way street part, many like to receive help, but when your in need, they are no where to be found!!
I have also found that very few people really understand what true friendship really means!!

To cry or laugh together is not a symbol of true friendship,true friendship is an other thing ,it requires to be together in tough times,to face the tough time together

Btw, dead on...especially the part about it being a two-way street. You have to give the same when it's needed in return, or it's not real friendship.

Bless you morgan!!
For a while my life was my worst nightmare, I was really frightened and was thrown a life line to start again, not financially but someone believed in me helped me on my feet again, regain some confidence and feel strong enought to start again.
When my Grandaughter was stillborn, I went to pieces trying to be strong for my Son, but inside my heart was breaking and the hardest thing for me was I could not take his suffering away.
Some people on this site were truly amazing, letting me talk things thro by mail, just being there for me.

Sometimes Ali empathy is a sign of friendship, to me anyway.
