A few years ago I had a good friend. I considered him to be one of my best friends. We spent a lot of time together. We shared some good times. I thought that he would be one of the friends I would have for the rest of my life. Then we hit a small bump in the road and lost touch. Our friendship had been tossed out over some pretty insignificant issues. When hardships came along the friendship went away and I learned that it wasn’t the friendship I had thought it was because it couldn’t endure. It didn’t have the strength to carry on through hard times.
