Intimate Friendships
I shared a conversation with a person who I believe we share an intimate friendship.
An intimate friendship is one that:
* is characterized by deep mutual respect and trust.
* offers support and encouragement to both friends.
* does not leave either friend feeling that he or she has been the only “giver” in the relationship.
* is so desirable that each party looks forward to the next time they can be together.
I quote from one of the few treasured books on my bookshelf.
“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.
“Pooh!” he whispered.
“Yes, Piglet?”
“Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh’s paw,
“I just wanted to be sure of you.”
~A.A. Milne
