A dependable friend is someone who is there for you no matter what. You can call on them any time you need someone to help you or just to talk to. someone who will listen to you and advise you but not tell you what to do or what is right or wrong but someone who is truthful. I have a friend like this and although she lives far from me now she is always there for me. She was there for me when I was having problems several years ago. I could just knock on her door and she would put the kettle on and we would just chat. She cheered me up loads when I was down and she was my safe harbor when i needed a place of safety. My other best friend and the one I love beyond all reasonable doubt is the man I am now married too. He listens when I talk, cheers me when I am down, hugs me when I cry and guides back onto the right track if I start to drift. He does not laugh at me, shout at me or get angry with me. He helps me in all that I do and is my light on my darkest days. He is my rock. He is open, honest, wise, understanding and loving. These are the attributes of a best friend
