From my perspective, the friendship between two or more people is something I like to write about, and I also have friends online that I do my best to spend some time with when I get the chance... :)

Dear Ann, I am touched by your comments as they reflect some of my own experiences. I don't think I have succeeded much in this area of friendship and I too am 60 years old this year. I think my deficit in making friends may have developed from a lack of trust in others and a feeling of not being worthy of their love. I have been limited by these internal pieces of my mind and heart all my life. I would like to develop close friends and have had opportunities but I have been unable to let my guard down and share myself with others. I am wondering if you have any thoughts on this matter? Or give any advice.

A friend is loyal, trust worthy, caring, loving and ect,.... I have a friend who can cheer me up when i'm down, she also cares, she will ask whats wrong, and to me thats a friend. I am not giving her name due to internet safety because I know there are lots of older people (mostly men) who will try to look her up and thats not what a good friend would do. :) If you don't have any friend(s), then please introduce yourself to someone, and ask them to be your friend!;) -Leeann:)

Friends whether the storm with you and wouldn't have it any other way, friends are our mirror when we've neglected to look into one, friends network, share, respect each others opinion and keep family morals & values amogst each other.

a true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart, a connection to life, a tie to the past, a road to the future and the key to sanity in a totally insane world.

A best friend is one who gives you unconditional love, no matter what darkness you may be going through in your life, and won't ever abandon you because of your life circumstances at the moment. You just can't forget about true love. It's magical and can conquer all!

A friend pushes you to do something you normally wouldn't think of doing. And in the end you find yourself not regretting it.

Dude from Canada

The term "I am still here, aren't I" may seem like a cold reply from a friend, but I have found the saying to speak volumes. Friends come and friends go, but the ones that stay after the good times have passed and darker times have prevailed, through thick and thin and are still there to share dreams and ideas are by far the most valuable jewels you will ever have collected. Nurture them and you will share the rewards forever.

Bob Cooper from Aloha, OR, USA

Friendship is always being there for that person that is leaning on you. Friendship is never turning your back on someone. Friendship is sticking with them when the rest of the crowd has abandoned them. Friendship is the most precious gift you can give someone. Friends are my world.

I think friendship is when a person knows what you did and still likes you and when you can trust them not to tell anyone anything.
