Friendships are really amazing. During the good times, we have many people that we call friends, and during the difficult times we find out who our real friends are. Over the course of the last few months, I've had the chance to really connect with those around me, friends and family. With family, I was relieved when they told me that they supported whatever choice I made. This could be that they're my family, but to be honest, it was difficult for me to share with them everything that I had been going through. When I told them my story, I was extremely nervous.
Friends, now this was a group that I also didn't really want to tell, but I'm glad that I did. I really got a chance to figure out who my friends really were. People that I had not seen high or low of, hear from in years, were by my side. They were right there for me, as if no time had past between us. I shared my point of view about the events that transpired, and even though I didn't want a line to be drawn, or sides to be taken, it's happened.
My co-workers, well you have been helping me through it all since the very beginning, and I thank you for it. To my team-mates, thanks a bunch for understanding my retirement, and the time that I needed to deal and cope with this all. To my newer/recent friends, thanks for lending an ear (or eye). For those that sought both POVs and are still talking to me I appreciate it. To those that never talked to me, and asked me what was happening, well, I don't need you.
So those reading this, remember that you have two types of friends out there; the right now friends and the forever friends. Unfortunately, you can never really now who is which until something happens in life, and you really need them. It is only then that you will find out.
