I knew someone for a speck in time and he died, I trusted him more than friends I knew much longer.
The quality of the time. When you meet "good people," you just know it.
I'm reminded of friends who have died.
We get to an age when it starts to happen.
Sad to lose someone we love.
Sad if there's no one else as trustworthy.
I can't answer either way.
For me, every friendship's different.
What I love best is quality in the right quantity -
which is with little breather spaces whenever either one needs it.
Little could be a few hours, days, weeks, months or years,
depending on the friendship and the means of getting together.
But quality does not vary -
for me its openness, honesty, and intimacy, and it can occur in many forms.
The quality of time is more important. I've known some people for years that I wouldn't trust for anything.
Absolutely the quality of time.
I am sorry you lost a good friend so soon. Some people really make an impact on us, even if we only have a short time with them.
