Dependable: [dih-pen-duh-buh l] adjective
1.capable of being depended on; worthy of trust; reliable:
When I think of dependability, I think of the sunrise. The sun’s rising is something that I can count on every day. I know that as the sky begins to lighten, the rosy glow will follow shortly and within a short space of time the sun will peek over the horizon. And then, gaining momentum, it will push the moon aside as it ascends into the sky. It’s a glorious sight no matter where in the world you stand. It’s beauty is unrestrained, it holds nothing back. Similarly, the love of parent to child is as dependable in my life as the changing of the tide is to the ocean and just as beautiful and necessary. Why do these things transcend mere appreciation and instead touch our soul? I believe that it is the dependable nature of these things which gives us security and peace. And isn’t that what everyone wants in a friendship?
“There’s nothing like a really loyal, dependable, good friend. Nothing.”
Dependability is the quality of being able to be counted on, or relied upon. When you do everything you say you will do and never make promises you cannot keep. Dependability in a friendship is like a glue. When both parties can be depended upon in all the small ways of friendship it creates a bond. When the big troubles come, they are already bound together in love and support.
“Dependability is sincerity plus will power. ”
