patience is a virtue, even though she failed to pay back the money at the stipulated time, for friendship's sake, you didn't turn it into a fight or start threatening her, I guess she was in a tight situation too, and not that she really didn't want to pay the money... Glad that didn't ruin your friendship and you also learned a lesson never to loan out money you can not afford to lose....
Yes, that was why I was patient too because of her condition then. She is really a close person to me and wouldn't want our friendship to get ruined. Patience is truly a virtue. Thanks, Burl for coming around.
