After spending the day accompanying Bookworm to a doctor at the University of Washington medical center on Monday, it occurred to me that there could be vows said between friends and if one weren't willing to say these vows, then they would not be deemed a TRUE FRIEND. The vows would be something like this:
I promise to be your friend to love and to cherish,
In success and in failure
In fame and in obscurity
In pain and in contentment
During embarrassing medical examinations
During times of too much drink
During overweight and underweight
Regardless of lunatic sexual adventures
Whether we like ourselves or not
In silliness and soberness
In times of honesty or white lies
While in anguish or euphoria
While lost or found.
In times of direst need
I promise to hear every word
And never to judge
For as long as we both shall live and even after.

It must be nice to have such a wonderful friend. You are very lucky.
It is very nice to have and to be a very good friend. I am lucky. Not all women have such great friends or even such great sisters.
I just wanted to let you know...I love this post! The friendship vows are great!
This friendship vow is so beautiful! I adapted it for a godfather ceremony -- totally perfect and very meaningful and special :) Everyone should do a vow like yours with their best friends! Thank you for putting this on the Internet for others to enjoy. Sincerely, Beth :)
So meaningful! Madoka and I say this everyday along with "Don't forget. Always, somewhere,
someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her,
you are not alone." and 'Protect the one thing you want to protect until the end'.
