e·piph·a·ny [ih-pif-uh-nee]
a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience.
Who are your friends? Your true friends? People you can really count on through thick and thin? Maybe I use the term too narrowly, but in my own mind I’m pretty selective about who I consider to be my “true friends.” It isn’t that I don’t like a lot of the people that I associate with. There are lots of great people in my life. It’s just that for me, it takes a real bond of loyalty and trust for me to consider someone a “true” friend. And I don’t just throw that moniker around carelessly. True friendship is earned, endures through the ages, and is not cast aside by the changes we encounter in life.
So maybe by my definition I don’t have a lot of “true friends.” But the ones I do have, are there forever.
Mom always said that she had many associates and few friends. It took me quite a few years to truly understand what she meant by that.
My late aunt told me that you’re lucky to have five true friends in your life. She was right.
