Losing Friends Then Finding Real Ones
|
I have been through giving birth, a rape, a divorce and a bad breakup. Those are the 4 top events in my life where I needed my friends. When I had my daughter 20 years ago, I needed my best friends to rally around me. But, what I found was I actually lost friends. They were single and did not have time to pop over and see me and to help out if I needed it. I held onto a few true friends. I went through a horrible rape. Once again I needed my friends to rally around me. It was too much for some of them and they stopped talking to me. I could not imagine not being there for them if they needed me during a time like that. Again, I held onto a few. I could count them on both hands. I survived it. With the help from my true friends. I went through a divorce 8 years ago. I thought my life ended. How would I raise my daughters with one income and be a single Parent? I needed my friends. I lost most of them because they were part of a "couple" and I guess once you get divorced you have some sort of rub off disease. You know the one, she is divorced and now if we hang out with her maybe my spouse will see they want to be single too. Again, I held on to a few. I could count them on one hand. Then recently I went through a horrible breakup with the love of my life. I needed my friends more than ever. I was older now and my self esteem was gone. I thought I was dying. Again, I lost some of my friends. I again had the single disease. Again, I thought I could count them on one hand.
What I realized was I had one true friend. One. After having so many friends during my life I was down to one friend I trusted and was there for me from the beginning. I thought this would worry me. I couldn't bother her with my sadness all the time. So, I went on Girls ask Guys looking for an answer to a simple question. I found 4 true friends. They did not know me from Adam but sat up endlessly on the phone and email every night for 3 months. I thought the meaning of friendship meant going out and having fun going to parties, shopping and going to happy hours. I was so wrong. True friends are there for you at your worse and at your best. They are there for you during hard times and easy times. I found out the hard way what the meaning of true friendship was. Hold your friends close to you. Help them through any good times and hard times. You might just be all they have to get through their day.
You find out how good your life is by how many friends you have when you die. I am well on my way to sheer happiness and a good life. Because I have them and they have me.
So, I want to Thank the true friends I have across many miles that I have never met. I have never seen their smiles, their tears or their faces but I care deeply for all of them. Thank you Nashie, lovebird101, sadandconfused, and novarock. You guys deserve absolutely nothing but happiness. You are the true meaning of true friends.
