Friendship is something that everyone needs. Success is nothing without friends. You share life, happiness and sadness. A friend is someone you can depend on in a time of need and that can trust you with every secret he or she has.
So, what happens when a friendship of eight years is broken over something out of their control? Does that mean it was never a true friendship to begin with?
My friend and I met in high school and have known each other for nearly eight years. What happened recently broke our lifelong friendship.
This makes me think about what friendship really means. I always thought my friend and I could get through any argument, fight, or the sadness of life. We promised each other we'd always be friends, through thick and thin. We even joked about how we would sit in a circle and laugh at some jokes when we had grandchildren. We always laughed at every little thing.
But then her grandfather passed away and suddenly our friendship was nothing. It happened so suddenly that I never found out about it until I discovered a note she had written on the Internet. I was sad and hurt that she would post what I told her for other people to see. I understand that she was sad and wanted to vent（发泄） her sadness, but I wish she'd kept everything between us.
I don't understand why she broke our friendship, and I don't think I ever will. I think friendship means we'll always forgive each other for our mistakes. I hope that finally I'll find that true friend who will always be there for me, and I there for her.
