When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.

About This Quote

Everyone wants to be Real. Real is the highest compliment and the greatest gift that you can give to another person. The idea of Real is that your friend or family member feels like you are part of them—like they’re not alone in the world. Real is to know that when something happens in their life, they can turn to you and feel like they’ll be okay because you’ve got them.
