To me I have to reflect that if you want a friend I have been told you need to be a friend. I have this gut instinct to seem to know when I am talking to someone when they really need a friend whether just to listen or just be. Just this morning for example I knew a friend had a rough time dealing with her leg she had to have amputated. I had not heard from her all yesterday. so this morning since we are connected on facebook. I left her a message of good morning are you okay? she replied back in a way I could sense by her words she wasn't okay and she needed to talk. I picked up the phone right away and I talked to her being her sounding board and I understood she was having a hard time. The one person she had been friends with wasn't able to be there for her in the way she needed because that person was so worried that she would do something foolish. Well I said if you need me I am here since you were here for me and was able to confront me when you saw me going into a depression state I can do the same for you in return. I talked o her for a hour and a half and I was so glad I could make her smile and listen to her. I think in the end I did help her because she called me back after her phone died and after she straightened out things with our other friend it made her feel good again. I am glad when I can return something as so simple as just being a sounding board or just sharing a picture to make someone else smile I feel like the richest person in the world. You should try to pay attention when someone writes something to you and you know in your heart that something is not right call that person right away and check on the you may save them form themselves and make you feel good inside sharing your love and concern for that person you are friends with.
