© Almost Friendship Lost

At times when we get lost; we look to our friends to put us on the correct path.
True friendship involves a relationship -- no, not that kind of relationship -- but rather like a baby taking its first steps. And with time, the baby steps transform from walking to pacing to jogging.
Friendship is time well spent. Like a great bottle of wine ... it improves with age.
As we get to know one another, with shared memories, we are empowered by the growth we see in each other.Trust.
We have to able to share our lives, thoughts, feelings, and frustrations without censure.
Without trust, in a blink of an eye, intimate secrets can be destroyed at the snap of a finger.
A casual betrayal...we are abandoned, lonely.
But it too is but a passing moment..... if....a big if....we are supported.
How are we to reverse the downward spiral without the encouragement of those around us? A shoulder to cry on.
Yes, we need those hugs.
Genuine friendship supports during times of struggle.
I love my friends no matter what, and I will always want the best for them.
I miss them so much!
