Forming friendships start from the very beginning of life itself and we may lose many along the way because of time, distance, indifference, age etc and we form many new friendships too.
When life throws you hard times its then that we realise who real friends are and who will stand by us no matter what.
The first point of this post is realisation of who I can turn too. Last weekend was a tough weekend for me; it started a few days before. Princess was napping and I was catching up on Facebook and I started crying - I felt just so miserable in life and needed to talk to someone.
I saw one of my dear friends was online - she moved to the other side of the world over a year ago but she usually is always there. Believe me I am a stubborn person and I don't reach out easily to people. Due to the difference in time she was just going to bed and promised to reply in her morning time.
I still haven't heard from her.
So the weekend I posted I was feeling low and upset and one friend commented on it. We are very good friends and I would class her amongst one of my best friends. She and I are also friends with the one I mentioned above.
I wondered to her whether she felt there was issues there and then I poured everything out to her. She is a truly fab friend and the only reason I didn't turn to her the few days before was because I knew she was at work and I 'needed' to talk to someone at that moment.
Said friend from the other side of the world has meanwhile been able to update her Facebook regularly!
So whilst I feel so hurt and dejected by this friend, tomorrow marks a symbol of friendship.
I am Godmummy to my niece but you almost assume its a natural progression... In May, a good friend asked me and hubby to be godparents to her little boy - her words were that she and her hubby couldn't think of anyone more awesome to guide their son. I've know this friend since she was pregnant with her first so it would be just over 3 years now.
Less than a year ago, I posted on one of the big charities dealing with half a heart conditions about our new fundraising event and a mum saw it. They had just been told their unborn baby girl had a heart condition and they live in the same town as me!
So we have known each other since then and they have become really good friends. Last week she asked me her daughters Godmummy! She said she felt we were meant to be friends - both having babies with HLHS, both being under the local hospital, in the same town, apart of the same church parish... We have so much in common too and it's such an honour to be asked to be anyone's Godmummy!
So whilst there are a couple of friendships which are on the downside at present for me personally, there are some friendships that pop up and remind you that you really do matter!
So enough of my ramblings for one night!
