Blanchard own definition of best friend

bets Sterotypically, we consider our best friend to be the one person closest to us.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have more best friends than I can count on two hands – and if it got down to it, I would run out of toes too.

Personally, I would define a best friend as someone I can trust. Someone who won’t judge me. Someone who will make me a better person.
We all know what we look for in our closest friends, and I won’t even begin to pretend to know what others look for in theirs. Some of us simply want someone who shares our interests, while others want someone of the same faith or religion. Some just want a person to talk to. It’s a bond that no one can explain – a rare and special commodity. I’ve learned to never take friendship for granted. It’s comforting to know that someone cares about me and is ready to listen the moment I call.

I’m making new friends – and best friends – everyday. I’m getting to know people I never thought I would. Nevertheless, the expectations I have of them never change.
And it goes both ways; I always try to be the person I look for in them. It would be hypocritical to be anything less. However, I know I’m not perfect; I’m far from it. I’ve messed up… I’ve fallen short… I’ve let people down. Lucky for me, there’s a second part to the definition: a best friend is someone who will be there for you no matter what.

My friends have seen me at my worst. They’ve seen me at my best. They’ve made me who I am today.
I would never be anywhere without them. Radio commentator Walter Winchell defines them best, “A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.”
So, to my best friends – thank you for walking in.
