Staunch

Part of Speech: adjective

The Source Sent. & Page #:
"In 1980, however, despite my father's staunch devotion to freedom and fairness, he was still a foreigner with an accent, an accent that after the Iranian Revolution was associated with all things bad."
Funny in Farsi pg. 119

Context Clues: In the source sentence, the word after staunch, "devotion", means to have a certain form of loyalty so then maybe staunch has to be a synonym of devotion.

Definition: firm or steadfast in principle, adherence, loyalty, etc., as a person

Your Original Sentence: Im grateful for having such staunch friends that I can talk to about anything.
