I remember an interview when Trump was younger and lost alot of money. He was asked about his friends helping out. He said that it’s interesting and a revelation because you can’t tell who will be in your corner when things turn against you. He said friends he thought would be with him turned against him and others he never counted on were on his side.
When my wife was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer, there was a rush of well wishers. Then the crowds disappeared. I was surprised at the people who were “with us” throughout the whole thing. People who I expected to lend moral support…crickets. And that included the clergy and “we will pray for you” friends.
The person who showed up every week…her hairdresser. She was an angel from God throughout the whole thing. I never would have guessed that.
