I will be there for you...

We all have heard this line in "Friends" title song…. there are few moments in our life when we understand the meaning of it; and there are few moments when the friend actually needs you and it’s important to him that you are there for him! More than that it’s important to you that you were there for him and that is one of the biggest satisfaction!!

Following forward mail is one of that kind:
Horror gripped the heart of a World War-I soldier, as he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle. The soldier asked his Lieutenant if he could go out to bring his fallen comrade back. "You can go," said the Lieutenant," but don't think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your life away."The Lieutenant's words didn't matter, and the soldier went anyway. Miraculously, he managed to reach his friend, hoisted him onto his shoulder and brought him back to their company's trench. The officer checked the wounded soldier, and then looked kindly at his friend. "I told you it wouldn't be worth it," he said. "Your friend is deadand you are mortally wounded.""It was worth it, Sir," said the soldier. "What do you mean by worth it?" responded the Lieutenant. "Your friend is dead.""Yes Sir," the soldier answered, "but it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say....
"Jim...I knew you'd come."

Nice naa.. but all these things only happen in stories… in reality when your friend actually needs you are never around, you are busy with your family, your work, your life, your this n your that….
it hurts to your friend even if he doesn't show…
but more than that it hurts you that you were not there for him...
