There are people among us who time and time again, show themselves to be our true friends. Humans....humans are fickle. They want the safe, the comfortable. Emotions require too much of them. A woman cries...what do you do? Most people turn their head and pretend they didn't see. What's worse, is we get used to this.
Today, I came across a blog of a woman who is a dear friend of mine. She knew I would read it. We may be miles apart, but she took the time to mention me in her blog, letting me know that she knew today is a rough day for me. Well, yesterday if you go by server. She wanted me to know she was there, and she was thinking about me.
It brought tears to my eyes that I had been holding back all day. To know that at least one person wasn't going to avoid the issue, was a breath of fresh air. I needed that more than life itself. There are people among us who care, if we only know where to look. Sometimes, I like to think of these people as angels who walk among us. They aren't the ones pushing themselves into the front, making you look at them. They are the ones in the background, supporting you all along. Tonight, I thank my angel for being there for me on my angel baby's birthday, the hardest day of the year. |
