I received this in an email and someone suggested I should post it here.
For you all.

When I was little, I used to believe in the concept of one best friend,

and then I started to become a woman.

And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up,
God would show you the best in many friends.

One friend is needed when you're going through things with your man.

Another friend is needed when you're going through things with your mom.

Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be.

One friend will say, "Let's cry together,"
another, "Let's fight together,"
another, "Let's walk away together."

One friend will meet your spiritual need,
another your shoe fetish,
another your love for movies,
another will be with you in your season of confusion,
another will be your clarifier,
another the wind beneath your wings.

But whatever their assignment in your life,
on whatever the occasion,
on whatever the day,
or wherever you need them to meet you with their gym shoes on and hair pulled back,
or to hold you back from making a complete fool of yourself ..
those are your best friends.

It may all be wrapped up in one woman,
but for many,
it's wrapped up in several...
one from 7th grade,
one from high school,
several from the college years,
a couple from old jobs,
on some days your mother,
on some days your neighbor,
on others, your sisters,
and on some days, your daughters.

So whether they've been there 20 minutes or 20 years,
pass this on to the women
that God has placed in your life
to make a difference.

Thank you, Caroline. You had sent this to me and I printed it out and even sent a copy to T so he could share it with other clients.

These are wonderful words and make so much sense. Because, in my instance, I don't know the rules of "social engagement" or "relationships" - something like that. The ******* caused a rift in that learning process and I'm still trying to figure all of this out. So, this was awesome insight for me!

Hugs Away,

Glad you liked it and it was helpful. It's even nicer with the pictures, but I don't know for sure that I can share them here because of copyright issues, so it is safer not to I think.
