Grandma Was Right

Many years ago, a friend came to interview my Grandma for an article on friends and friendship that she was writing for a magazine.  She interviewed Grandma and talked with her for a couple of hours.  During that interview Grandma said something that  is more true as the years go by.  While Grandma was giving her pearls of wisdom about friends and friendships, she said something that almost contradicted what she'd been talking about.  At the time she said it, I remember thinking about I really didn't wish it were true.  Now that I'm older and a hardass, I realize she was right for the most part.  She said "Look in the mirror.  You're going to see the one person that you can truly rely on."
