I don’t know her personally, but I know women and men who have been where she is now, and I’ve been there too- hoping against all hopes and praying that they come back to me as the shining jewel that they always have been- not dulled by the weight of it all, not dimmed by the terror that depression lays over a person. I lost my best friend and soul-brother to it- he’s not dead but he left everyone who knew him and loved him- for the man who beat him senseless daily because he couldn’t see his way out of the dark.

I still pray with everything I’ve got that he’ll come back to us. To his parents, to myself and my family because we consider him part of our family, to everyone and everything that considers him precious. I miss him terribly. We all do. So, soul sister, the fact that you will still be there for her- it makes my heart sing. Because I know you’ll be there for her no matter what and help her back to her own light. Hugs.

I know she will be okay because she has YOU in her life. She is blessed to have you.

Poignant, truthful, beautifully written….

I am so sorry that your friend struggles so hard. Thank goodness that she knows that there is someone that cares for her.

Having a friend who cares about you helps more than I can put into words. Sometimes that’s all you have to cling to, that knowledge that someone REALLY loves you and it’s worth holding on one more day because of that. You gotta take it day by day, hour by hour, and a good friend makes it possible. Saying “I love you” and being there is the best thing you can do for her.

Brotherton Mon, 10 Oct 2011 14:42:57 +0000 http://www.uncletypewriter.com/?p=1094#comment-4094 It helps having friends that care, and who are willing to put up with the person you become to help you return to the person that you are.

More than most people realize.
