F*R*I*E*N*D*S

It's been kinda a sad week. 2 of my very best friends have really had a trying week, and my heart goes out to them. First "C" who has had all sorts of car troubles since her hubby left for some schooling stuff (clinicals??) and she has a new baby and a 2 year old...that's hard enough in itself without having to deal with car problems too. So sorry girl! Glad things are starting to look up for you! You know I love you and that I'm always here if you need a friend. I've known this girl since I was probably 1...forever as far as I know, and she has never gave up on me in life, even through my hard years when I thought I "knew everything", the rebellous stage, the piti me stage...through it all, she's stayed my friend when others gave up on me. I've appreciated her in my life more than she knows.

And my other wonderful friend who will be having her first miscarriage in a couple days probably. She is about 3 months pregnant, and she started spotting, so I went over to spend the day with her and help her with her other kids today, then she went to an Ultra sound this afternoon and found out that the baby's heart isn't beating. My heart just broke for her when she called and told me the news. That is never easy to go through. Especially that far along when you've just started telling everyone. I love you girl, and I hope your heart mends! I met her in college, and we became great friends, because she loved me enough to tell me when I was being stupid, and when I needed to change my life around. She has been here everytime I need a friend, shoulder to cry on, someone to call at midnight when I'm having a bad time, someone who has always been willing to drop whatever she is doind and make some time for me. It's hard to find friends like these two have been to me. Most friends seem to come and go in life, but I hope that a couple of my friends will never go away!

So with all that sad news...I hope things start looking up for these 2 - they are the greatest. I have a couple really close friends in my life, and they have been by my side through the years, and I absolutely love them. I don't know what I'd do without them. Everyone needs a special friend that they can depend on. I don't make friends that easy, because I always feel rather awkward around people...but these friends love me the way I am, and I appreciate that more than they know!


Dionne Warwick - "That's What Friends are For"

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you

And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try to feel
The way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you

Whoa, and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are comin' from my heart
And then if you can remember, oh

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
Oh, that's what friends are for

Whoa... oh... oh... keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, oh, for sure
'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for
For good times and for bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for (That's what friends are for)

On me, for sure
That's what friends are for
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
