‘Be the friend who doesn’t notice the dirty dishes in the sink. The friend who prays hard for those in her circle, and always shows up.’: Woman urges ‘be the friend every person needs’

“Be that friend.

The friend who shows up.

The friend who holds space.

The friend who appreciates the sacred gift of sisterhood.

The friend who’s never too busy.

The friend who understands hard moments.

The friend who doesn’t notice the dirty dishes in the sink when visiting.

The friend who’ll be the loudest cheerleader in the room.

The friend who prays hard for those in her circle.

The friend who recognizes the need for momentary disconnect, yet always saves a place at the table.

The friend who doesn’t give up or give in.

The friend who believes big, big things for those around her.

The friend who understands the importance of a random ‘I’m always here.’

The friend who encourages.

The friend who loves like family.

Be the friend every person needs.

Be the friend you’d be grateful to have.

Be that friend.”
