True friendship!

There are friends… and then there are FRIENDS. True friends. It can be hard to tell the difference on the internet sometimes, but they can be found even here. You can tell the difference if you stop a moment and think. They’re the ones who ask if you’re alright when something goes wrong. They’re the ones who do so even when they don’t have to, even when it’s not socially expected.

Sometimes they even follow up and check in on you as time goes on. Because they actually care. They can take a moment and see beyond themselves. You can tell when someone is just going through the motions. They’re the ones who just want the conversation to end.

It’s true that in such times it is rare anyone can truly help you. When sorrow strikes what use are words? But it’s not the words, it’s the attempt that matters. Just the knowledge someone cares is enough.

There have been those who have helped me in this way the last few weeks. To them I offer thanks and I earnestly hope I will be there if and when you too need a true friend.

You know who you are. And you are the awesomesauce!
