My best friend knows me and accepts me for who I am but also is not afraid to push me when it is good for me. She has been trying to get me to exercise. Boy, has she tried. She has offered to meet me for a walk, to come to my house (not that close) to walk with me, and anything else that she can think of to encourage me. She calls me daily, or emails me, or texts me like a teenager. She always says the right thing and never gives up on me. If I dont feel like talking much, that's ok. She is always there for me. Once she took my son to a birthday party for me when I couldnt leave the house. When I was flat on my back with back problems, she did errands for me. If I get dementia, I hope there will be someone like she.
