I've always seen the worst in people. If they werent like me, I'd distance myself from them. I raised myself in many ways so alot of things about life I'm learning late, but better late than never. I had a best friend in high school and shes still in my life today. Over the years, she'd say or do something I didnt like and i wouldnt call her for months. She never done anything to hurt me intentionally, we just had different views on life and I couldnt understand how I could be friends with someone so different.
I work alot of overtime in the winter and just so happens my friend from high schools son attends the same school my sons attend. She called me and said the boys could spend the night and she'd take them to school whenever I needed her. No one has ever jumped to my rescue like that, they probably would have but I never wanted to be bothered with anybody. Her gesture showed me what a true friend is. She had asked me a couple times last year to watch her kids and I made up some silly reason why I couldnt because I didnt want to. And she comes out the blue to help me after the way I treated her. A real friend. She's been here all this time and I've totally ignored her, til now.
She is a single mother of two, just like me. She has put herself through college and will be graduating soon. She is a phenonemal woman of God. I've watched her kids a few times this year as a favor and I didnt think twice about it. We are planning a summer vacation to California with her other sisters to visit her brother in June. I'm excited. I'm learning to open myself to love. I'm grateful she didnt turn her back on me like I did her. I've learned a true lesson in friendship.
