The Truth About Friendship
She tells you the truth when you ask if the stylist cut off too much hair— but assures you it will look adorable in a few days, after it's had time to "settle". She nods her head in sympathy when you ask if those pants make your butt look big — but is quick to add that it's not your butt that's the problem, it's the pants. She treats you to lunch and a margarita or three after the salon debacle and the fitting room terror, and lets you flirt with the cute waiter even though she saw him first.
When that jerk dumped you two weeks after telling you you were the kind of girl he could fall in love with and you were a total basket case, she knew better than to bring over only one pint of ice cream. She brought three. One for you, one for her, and one for you "for later" (which she knew would be three minutes after she left your place). And that last piece of cake? She always lets you have the "bigger half".
She's seen you at your best, all glammed up for a night on the town with movie star red lips and your hair in a classic chignon — and at your worst, red-nosed and wheezing, surrounded by an enormous fortress of cold remedies, your hair in a ratty scrunchie. She's there for you, without you even having to ask her to be.
You take this all in stride, and figure it's all just part of being friends. Which it is. Sometimes, though, it's nice to be reminded of just how much of a gift her friendship is. A travel gift basket, full to brimming with personalized goodies selected just for her, is the perfect way to let her know.
