FRIENDSHIP

I title this blog "FRIENDSHIP"....I've been writing heartfelt things lately about friendship...more specifically about certain people in my life who had claimed to be my "friend", but their actions spoke otherwise...I have friends who go through the same thing I do, except their issues surround actual family members whose legacies involve back stabbing, deception, and treachery.....I am very thankful I have a loving family who does not enter into such things....my demons lie with some of so called "friends" I have had in my life.  

However, I need to clarify that the reason I am hit so hard by the practices of these faux friends from my past is because of level of my regard for true friendship.    I believe in friendship.  I believe in giving your all for your friends...true friends....many of my friends have been my fortress for most of my life.   They have been my rock of encouragement during the dark times of my life.   So, in honor of friendship....TRUE FRIENDSHIP, I dedicate the following quotes:

Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

True friends stab you in the front.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing... not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.
