A person has led a lucky life if in the end he or she has one real friend

Honesty
The good stuff is easy, it’s the brutal items in life that a friend can be trusted to hand ya that only a friend can hand ya. This person sees all of your short comings and is there anyway. This person is probably the only one to tell ya the truth without flinching. This person won't laugh at your jokes unless they are funny. Oh and "Yes those pants do make you ass look big, because it is"

Loyalty
This person will be there when no one else will. No matter how others view him/her. Ya know the slings n arrows bit.

Generous
What is theirs is yours. Time, material stuff. They don't have enough if you don't have enough
