I realized what true friendship looks like.
I realized what true friendship looks like when my uncles' friend brought him a whole rack of home smoked ribs unprompted and just left immediately afterwards.
Chuck, you are an inspiration to us all.
It's a hard world we live in and we do need friends like that.
That's the "you gotta take these before I wake up covered in bbq sauce and shame" friend. They're rare but always a delight
A few years ago I was overseas with a friend. I ended up getting absolutely plastered and blacking out, which had never happened to me before. I woke up in my hostel bed with no memory past a certain point.
My friend had gotten me home, showered me (I had vomited all over myself), changed my clothes, got me food and water to stash by me until I woke up. She even put my hair up in a bun.
Up until then, my idea of what friends did in this situation was get you to your bed and put a bucket next to you, that's it. But I woke up clean and safe with food and water waiting for me.
I almost cried when I realized what she'd done for me.
That story could have ended very differently, you are very lucky to have that friend. I hope you showed your appreciation.
Yes, exactly. I'm a seasoned traveler and have never allowed myself to get anywhere near that point when traveling (never like that at home, either), but I had just had a nasty breakup and my ex-fiance was originally supposed to be on that trip with us. I slipped, and she was there to catch me.
We're still very close and I'm now her daughter's honorary aunt. I'll always be supportive and there for her. I felt that way before this event, and it just solidified that I'd made a great choice in friends. Love her so much. :)
Was he not invited to stay?
He was! Yet he wanted to go take a nap after just finishing the other ribs he made.
Blessed Chuck.
The real MVP.
thanks chuck, real homie move
Chuck…Would you be mine… would you be mine… will you be my neighbor? Mr. Roger’s neighborhood tune theme…
I’m realizing I need to have friends…
I'll be your friend, neighbor. I can go find ribs.
I love this idea! Let’s goooo! 😁
