Friendship

Me and my sister

Walking this adoption road can be so lonely, as said before in a previous post.  I just experienced this feeling yesterday. Not included, left out and lonely.  Friendship to me is so important, but I am realizing more how different friends can be.  There are some who are there for you through anything, helping, praying, loving and caring.  There are some who are there to have fun and hang out occasionally.  Surface friends who are there to chat with and are always smiling; don't really know a lot about you but are good to occasionally visit. There are friends who are friends because of our children.  There are friends who only give a call when they need something.  Friends who you can call when you need a favor.  There are friends who used to be friends and who've moved on.  And friends who have made new friends. Friends who have a lot in common, and friends who you wonder why?  Friends who are busy, and friends who take lots of time.  
I am sooo blessed to have found a few true friends in my life.

False friends are like leaves, found everywhere."

9 Two are better than one,  because they have a good return for their work:

10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up.  But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!

Oh so true.

There are friends that you don't see very often,
but you read their blog,
and when they really need you,
you are there.

You don't "hang out" with their family,
but when you talk, you really talk.
You share your hurts and hear their hurts.
You really do "feel their pain".

Thanks friend!
