Two years ago I was at an annual convention. I was breastfeeding my daughter and while doing that I met a woman. Our daughters needed to be fed at the same times. So while doing that we got to talking and at the end of the convention, we went home and didn’t see each other for a year.
Last year at the same convention we ran into each other again and we had a lot in common so we decided to exchange phone numbers. I’m so glad we did. Sadly, we don’t live that close to each other but luckily we have our phones. We call and text and we meet up whenever we can. To be honest, since we’ve met, we’ve neem close. I’ve had friends who I knew I could count on no matter what. One of my close friends went out of her way to come visit me every week. She saw me at my worst and she’s still here. My daughter grew up around her and she is one of the most important people in my (and my daughter’s) life. But there were things that we didn’t have in common. The woman I met at the convention is like my long lost sister. We have everything in common and we love and appreciate the same things. She has taught me so much already and if I’m stuck in my emotions or feel like I can’t do whatever it is that I need to do, she’s always there to support me. The thing about our relationship that I appreciate the most is that she confines in me too. That she trusts me and that she will come to me when she has something on her mind. Most of my relationships have always been either a one-way street or a very turbulent, ‘I-do-one-thing-for-you-now-you-must-return-the-favor’ type of relationships. This friend, has helped me believe in myself again. She’s amazing and I’m so lucky that I got to meet her and that I get to be her friend. All you need is one person that’s always going to be there. That understands your life and the choices you make. All you need is one friend that leans on you as much as you lean on them. It balances out the friendship. We help each other save ourselves, instead of depending on the other to save us. It makes us stronger and wiser. It makes us better. I hope you have a great week. I hope you can find your weekly special, I know I’m keeping my eyes open for it. Stay positive and stay strong!
