My new found friend is someone I would call consistent. Initially when we started keeping in touch, he would say for example, “I will call by 4pm on Sunday.” True to his words, he will call as promised. He did this a couple of times. At first I thought it was because we were still getting to know each other. If for any reason he could not meet an appointment, he will notify me. But as time went on, I realized it was his nature – to value relationships and keep appointments.
