Hello Marilyn:
I so loved this poem on Friends.
Wow, I could write a book on friendships - the wonderful touch of a friend in our lives -- her wisdom, her beauty, her strength, her grace and our love and support for each other.
My friends are just a big part of my life and I thank God for them.
At times friendships can be testy but if it is meant to last it will and grow stronger through these times.
Presently a dear friend (more of a mentor), is dealing with an addiction problem. I have been through this before and that friend and I have lost contact. This time I do whatever I can to support and yet at times I do, in a nice way, tell her how I see it. I am very careful how I do this though as she may not want to hear it. I say it once and then let it go.
I light a candle for her at Church with the hope that the day will come when she will reach sobriety (again) and reach out her arms to God and embrace life with a trusting and loving spirit.
Regards
Elaine De Rosier
