You show up. Every time. Even when it costs you.
You are the friend people call first when things go wrong — and you answer. You don't make a production of it; you just show up.

What makes you different from everyone else who means well is this: you don't need to be acknowledged for it. You're not keeping a tab or waiting for recognition. You show up because the alternative — someone you care about going through something alone — is simply not something you can accept.
