Susan; found you a date to the prom or went to the prom with you (both without dates); helped you pick a university and assured you that you would get into that university; helped you deal with your parents who were having a hard time letting you go.
On the threshold of adulthood your idea of a good friend was the person who was there when you just couldn’t deal with your parents; assured you that now that you and Nick or you and Susan were back together, you could make it through anything; just silently hugged you as you looked through blurry eyes at 18 years of memories; and reassured you that you would make it in university as well as you had these past 18 years; and most importantly sent you off to university, making you feel being loved.
Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the better of the two choices; holds your hand when you’re scared; helps you fight off those who try to take advantage of you; thinks of you at times when you are not there; reminds you of what you have forgotten; helps you put the past behind you but understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer; stays with you so that you have confidence; goes out of their way to make time for you; helps you clear up your mistakes; helps you deal with pressure from others; smiles for you when you are sad; helps you become a better person...
And most importantly loves you!
上幼儿园时，你认为最好的朋友就是那个宁愿自己用难看的黑蜡笔，也要让你用红蜡笔的人。
在小学时，你认为最好的朋友就是陪你一起去洗手间；牵着你的手一起走恐怖的走廊；帮助你勇敢地抵抗班上那些欺凌弱小者；你把午饭忘在校车上，就与你共享他的午饭；在校车的后面给你留个座位；知道你大胆地暗恋谁，却从不明白为什么的那个人。
在中学时，你认为最好的朋友就是让你抄他的社会调查作业；陪你去参加“酷”派对，以便让你在见到陌生人时不会紧张；不会让你独自进餐的那个人。
在大学时，你认为最好的朋友就是让你搭坐他的新车；劝说你的父母，不能让你总窝在家里；当你跟尼克或是苏珊的感情破裂时安慰你；为你找一个舞会上的舞伴或是陪你一起去（你们两个都没有舞伴）；帮助你选择一所你一定能进入的大学；帮助你劝慰不放心你去外地上学的父母的那个人。
在成年后，你认为最好的朋友就是当你不能安排父母时，在你身边陪你；当你和尼克或是苏珊重修旧好时，使你确定你们一定能度过所有难关；当你含泪追忆过去18年的生活时，静静地给你一个拥抱；使你自信能度过曾经的18年，成功完成大学学业；最重要的是，在你上大学时送你，让你感觉到有人爱着你的那个人。
