| Friendship |
Yesterday was a beautiful day outside. Spring has finally arrived, it hasn't rained in a few days and I was in a happy mood. I had lunch with my girlfriend "PW". PW and I have lunch together almost everyday. She is a lucky girlwho gets to works from home. We have been friends for about 15 years now. PW and I have that kind of friendship where you know what the other one is thinking. Almost like if they are sad then you are sad, if they hurt you hurt.
I have that friendship with another girlfriend of mine also. We will call her "AS". AS has been having a difficult time lately. I knew something was up. We really hadn't talked much in months, when we did she always seemed to be a bit quiet. Almost as if she really didn't have much to say. That in itself was different. We always find things to talk about, work, kids, my husband, her boyfriends or dates , life in general. Well, yesterday it all came to a screeching halt! AS called, she was having a really hard time with life in general. I won't go into details but I knew she needed help that I couldn't give her. Help that sometimes requires a friend to push the boundaries of friendship and do what you hope will help but know will make your friend mad. Yes, I did it! I called her Mom. I was scared, not scared to talk to her mom, scared for AS. Scared that something may happen to her. Scared because I truly care for her as a sister. She has talked and walked me through so much. A lot of pain, a lot of sorrow and a lot of terror. This time the tables were turned, AS needed me and I had no idea how to help. I did what I thought I should. I knew she needed more help that I could give. I am not sure what transpired last night but it must have went pretty well. I spoke with AS this morning, she sounds 75% better than yesterday and had positivity in her voice. That is not something I have heard from her in a long time. I hope she knows how much her friendship means to me. I have very few girlfriends. The ones I have are the ones that have stuck by me through thick and through thin no matter what life brings. I adore those friends.
AS and PW, Thank you for all you have done, will do and for all the times we have shared, whether good, bad, happy or sad.
PW- you are my inspiration at least 3 days a week. Just keep remembering that we will get a monkey with a 24" tail!
AS- try to keep looking at the bright side of things. You have hit the bottom now there is nowhere to go but up. You CAN do it and you will. I hope that you will forgive me for bringing your Mom into such a tough time for you. I truly believe that she can and will help you though all your troubled times. I also believe that this will be good for your relationship with her. Just remember that we all make mistakes that we have to live with, some not so bad, some really bad, some that we think cause wounds that will never heal. Wounds do heal with time, patience and love. Try to forgive mistakes that were made. Labels: friends, friendship, tough times. |

| Full Circle |
I never dreamed that life would come "Full Circle" so early for me. I guess you always hope that your life won't pass you buy to quick. That you take time to enjoy life and remember all that makes it go around. I made my Mother a Grandmother before she was 40. I was 30 days from turning 18 when I had my first child. I always preached to my daughter not to follow in my foot steps-to take time to live her life, take time to be a child, enjoy being a teen, go to college, do everything that I didn't. Don't get me wrong!! I don't regret having her at all. The only thing I would do differently is try to do it better! I wanted my daughter to enjoy being a teen and into her early 20's. I wanted her to go to college, and do whatever it is they do at college (Maybe I don't want to know) , start a great career, marry a wonderful man, then have children.
Well, life doesn't happen as you dream it will. Seven days before Christmas I got a wonderful Christmas present-A GRANDSON! I woke up from my dream and I wasn't quiet prepared for the emotions that would come with it. I had came to accept the fact that I was going to be a Grandma at the great big age of , well, lets just say over 35 not 40 yet. However, I wasn't prepared for how much that new baby would snag my heart right off the bat. One look at him and I can cry. He was a 9#2oz. baby, dark hair and already had Nana by the shirt tail. He is the cutest little guy. I use the term "little" loosely. Yes, I am probably a proud Nana but I have that right-right?
Full Circle- that is what my life has become. First a daughter, then a mother, now a grandmother. Full Circle- I think I like it!Labels: children, granchildren, life |
