A few years ago I was overseas with a friend. I ended up getting absolutely plastered and blacking out, which had never happened to me before. I woke up in my hostel bed with no memory past a certain point.
My friend had gotten me home, showered me (I had vomited all over myself), changed my clothes, got me food and water to stash by me until I woke up. She even put my hair up in a bun.
Up until then, my idea of what friends did in this situation was get you to your bed and put a bucket next to you, that's it. But I woke up clean and safe with food and water waiting for me.
I almost cried when I realized what she'd done for me.
That story could have ended very differently, you are very lucky to have that friend. I hope you showed your appreciation.
Yes, exactly. I'm a seasoned traveler and have never allowed myself to get anywhere near that point when traveling (never like that at home, either), but I had just had a nasty breakup and my ex-fiance was originally supposed to be on that trip with us. I slipped, and she was there to catch me.
We're still very close and I'm now her daughter's honorary aunt. I'll always be supportive and there for her. I felt that way before this event, and it just solidified that I'd made a great choice in friends. Love her so much. :)
