A great friendship is something that’s hard to describe.
There’s a scene from the Sex And The City movie (No, this isn’t all about SATC!) when Carrie, after being jilted, is in Mexico with the girls.
Carrie’s in bed, has been for at least a day and a half. She’s in the dark and she just wants everything to disappear.
Samantha comes in with some food. Sits down and spoon feeds her yoghurt.
It’s almost patronising that Sam is treating her like a child. Making sure she eats, while Carrie looks helpless and worn out.
But, this is friendship.
When your friend treats you like a child because she loves you as if you were her own child.
She will be there when you’re at your complete worst and want to make the pain go away.
Best yet, she does anything possible to help make the pain go away. Looking after your most basic needs so you can focus your energy on getting through the agony.
