What is friendship

Today I looked up what friendship and sincerity mean. Why you ask? Because I wanted to make sure that I knew exactly what they mean. I also looked up some quotes on friendship. I've always had a fear in my life and that was that if I wasn't perfect in all ways, if I was human, that someone would give up on me. I've always worried about it being my husband. He was always the one I thought I would disappoint the most and one day he wouldn't be there. But he never has. Even tho many times we've had our battles of will, or we've had our differences. We've still come out of it better and more in tuned with each other than we were before. Thats a true friend. My friend Lani Said something today that really struck a cord with me, it summed up in one sentence what I feel.

"People I hope to never let down, at least not on purpose. And if I do let them down, I know that I am still worthy enough to them that they won't let me go. "
