I believe that character is defined by choice, and choice is evidenced by action.
I've put a lot of effort into being places. For my kids, that meant showing up to games, dances, recitals, visitations. For my friends, it meant being where I said I would be, if I offered to support them by being some place, or if some plan had been hatched. I don't regret any of the discomfort, boredom, annoyamce, cost, or inconvenience of being in these places, at these times.
Being there for a friend (or for your kids) can really mean just that - being in the place where they expect you to be. And while you may get stood up, or passed by, or otherwise solo, those efforts don't go unnoticed.
So be there. Not because of them, but because that is who you are.
