I have this friend, she is twice my age, and an absolute rock to me.. She always jokes around and says that she wants to adopt me and my hubby and kids cos "you guys are just the greatest.." she's such a lovable hippy kinda creature, really spaced out and wonderfull!! She has her own problems to cope with and still she finds time to ask me how i am, and really wanting to know. What more could a person possibly hope for? Every sunday or so we go the her house and she truly treats us like family..
this particularly means so much to me, because my own family treated me like crap for my entire life. She keeps me going from one sunday to the next, and thats sometimes how i cope with my depression, by knowing that come sunday, i'll be there with ppl who actually love me.
no man is an island as they say, you can pretend all you want, but at the end of the day, everyone needs someone, and i am eternally grateful to pat for being my friend, as i have loads of trouble trusting anyone enough to let them be my friend..it takes a special kind of person for me to love them like a true friend.. because to me, friendship is sacred.
