Do you ever wish you had a good friend, you could call when things were tough and you need someone to lean on. That friend would listen, give there point of view but wouldn't judge you or your family. Ever have a time you wish you had a friend to go have tea, coke with and talk to them about the world and what you would like to see and not see and they wouldn't judge. Ever wish you had a friend you could talk to about anything and know that friend will not repeat what you said to anyone and turn the words around. Some day I will find that friend.
Kris you can can me anytime! You have my number! I have been super busy around here trying to pack things and worrying about the new house and looking for dh a job and I have probably been an absent friend lately to even my friends here in Houston. I have a couple of friends like you described and I'd love to be that friend for you!
I have a friend like that, but we didn't find each other until we were in our late 30s. She was worth the wait. Yet I would have loved having her all those years I felt so alone. I know exactly what you are talking about. I try to be that type of good friend. I just stay away from the people that disrespect me by not being good friends. I have found that life is precious, and I don't have to accept unacceptable behavior. You can always contact me. If you want my phone number just PM me. Becca
((((Kris)))) Sometimes it always seems that things end up the same way, you cant trust that person and you cared for them more than they cared for you. We are a very disposable society and unfortunately some dispose of their friends like they throw away a tissue. ((((Huggs)))) sweetie!
I wish that all the time too!! Its very hard to trust someone..I got burned too many times so I am very weary of being too open with people. Wouldn't it be nice to call a girlfriend up and ask to met for cofffee and they say yes! I get..I'm busy with (housework, etc).... you know we homeschool (yeah and YOU can't take a break for an hour? I would for YOU!) or I don't think I can let me call you back ( and they don't!). Oh well...one of these days. I do have 1 friend that I can talk to about only certain things, others I keep my lips sealed. Oh and 1 that will blab EVERYTHING to everyone so I only talk to her about "little" things (like how are you, can your girls have a sleepover at our house, etc). We can always have virtual coffee or tea using Skype? We can sit in front of our computers with our pj's on and drink our coffee and chat away!
I honestly have a few tried and true friends that I can count on. My husband is one of them. They have all proved their weight in gold and while they do not always tell me what I want to hear, I know it is out of love and not judgement. I pray you find one of these one day. They are blessings beyond measure.
I am lucky enough to have that kind of a friend. Unfortunately, we live far apart so we can't meet for coffee or to let the boys play together. I have 2 boys ages 5 and 8, she has 3 boys ages 5, 7 and 9. The boys have only met each other twice. She and I have known each other since our junior year of high school. We talk on the phone at least once a week, sometimes daily. We can talk about anything. I feel very blessed to have her in my life, but I still sometimes wish I had that kind of a friend who lived nearby.
I have a couple of those friends. Unfortunately, they live in TN, and I live in TX. On days I really need a friend, I get really homesick. I can call, but it's not the same as a face-to-face chat. ((((HUGS)))) We at the Spot love you!!
I remember,as a child, my mom was in your exact situation. When my dad asked her what she wanted for her birthday, she said," a best friend ". she literally prayed for months for God to bring her a friend. When she was in her early 30's she met a woman at church who had prayed the same prayer. this woman became my second mom and her daughters were like my sisters. the two of them were absolutely so perfectly matched as friends , it could only have been God that put them together. God wants only the best for his children and He knows the needs of your heart. I'll pray that He sends a BFF your way!
I have a friend like that, that I found when I was in my early 20's. I love that there is no judgment passed between us and we can tell each other anything...and I mean anything. There is no gossiping to others about anything said either. She is the only friend I have like that. We only see each other every few years. I wish we lived closer than 900 miles.
I have a friend like that. She has always there for me. I met her 12 years ago at work. Now she lives in another state but I go visit at least 4 times a year and we talk every night. I have other acquaintances but she is the only one I can truly call a friend.
Oh Kris, you have been that friend to me. You helped me out when I needed info last month and your always there with uplifting comments for me on fb. Now I just need to be that friend to you.
It is very heartening to see all the positive responses on this posting. Just think that each of the ladies in here is looking for the same thing. The potential for a circle of friends that are honest, discrete and loving is awesome. Wouldn't it be wonderful to form a Skype Friends Circle?
Friendship a place where feelings are always respected, troubles are always treated gently, tears never need apologies, amd caring is at the heart of everything. That is what friendship means to me!
