Friends
Posted in Words without a Home on 02/18/2009 01:22 am by moonfireI was thinking about friends today. In the last couple of years, I’ve lost a few. Death and life changes have separated me from them. We all know how important friends are, but when they’re gone, you really understand what someone meant to you. People say you are lucky to have a few good friends. If that’s true, then I have been blessed. In the last year my life would have been hell with a capital “H” without the friendship and support of more people than I can count.
How can I have this many friends if the general consensus is that your lucky to have a few. Certainly people have been moved to help me because of the situation I am in, but that doesn’t explain my good fortune entirely. And the other thing is that I’ve got a lot of new friends who seem as close to me as some of my very old friends. I’ve heard also that nothing can replace having history with a person….that long term or lifetime friendship. This doesn’t explain the complete and utter kinship I have for some of my new friends. You know….when you meet someone and feel like you’ve known them all your life.
Whatever, I’ve got a lot of friends and good ones, with good hearts and an open line when I really need it. I’m as broke as I’ve ever been in my entire life and I’m not just talking about money and I know it’s so hippie, peace, love of me to say this, but damnit, I love all of you….my old and new friends….all the people who have picked me up when I was down this year. You have helped to live and love another day. Thank you
