What are Friends For?

[neko1]

Have you watched Sex in the City? Friends are what makes life sweet. We cannot choose our parents, in-laws or children and their friends but we sure as hell can pick our friends.
Mine have been there for me through the death of my mother, my first marriaga breaking up, painful times with my children.
I have been there for them in life, death, jail, abortion, suicide,
cheating husband, beating husbands. They have sobbed in my arms and I in their's.
I have also been there for the marriage, the birth, the first homes, the first grandchild, more laughs than anyone can count and more love, support, understanding and more fun then I ever thought I would have. We have laughed so hard that milk came out of the nose, we have peeded our pants, had extreme coughing fits and fallen over laughing. THAT'S FREINDSHIP.

No one would ever choose me as a friend, so I just deal with everything myself. No one was there for me during my divorce, I handled it on my own...

This is one of the saddest posts I've ever read. Please - don't sell yourself short. I'm certain there are plenty of people that would like to be your friend - if you would only give them a chance. It's all well and good to deal with things on your own - I do much the same - but only because I choose not to burden others with my problems, since everyone has problems of their own. However, there are times that I do turn to others when the going gets rough. No one should be totally alone.

Please accept a friendly {{{HUG}}} from me.........
