Thanks to a friend...

I hope this friend ends up reading this post. I know he reads many of my posts and well I really hope he sees this one. I'm not going to say his name, but I'm sure he knows it's him (of course knowing me I will tell him it's him).
 Anyway, over the past few months a few things have gotten extremely rough in my life, but I've somehow managed to hold my head up high and keep looking forward and I know for a fact that my Heavenly Father placed this friend into my life at just the perfect time. Because without this friend I'm not sure I would be able to look myself in the mirror daily and say that certain things were possible for me. He has told me so much in a way that just makes sense... for example he didn't just tell me to stop worrying he reminded me that caring and worrying are totally different things and to let God handle all of my problems. Let God do the worrying. Also, he has taught me that friendship isn't something that is deserved or not... it either is or it isn't. A friend is someone who won't hold a grudge or stay mad at you for a long period of time. A friend is someone you can count on and someone that will banter with you and sometimes even let you figure your problems out on your own with every once in a while giving some pretty good advice. Also, "let go"... the passed is just that... a memory that you may never forget, but in order to heal you must "let go." You don't have to forget to do it, but just look at life as different. Lastly, I remember the first time he told me a story about when he was having a rough day at work and so were all of his coworkers and he was with one of his good friends and he just decided to ask his friend, "what are you looking forward to?" Now, all the time I can hear him saying to me "Frances, what are you really looking forward to?" When you think of things to look forward to you become happier and much of the sadness you have been feeling goes away! I'm not sure why God placed this friend in my life at this time, but at the same time I am eternally grateful to him. I want him to know that I respect him for everything he has done for me, and the fact that he has truly taught me that I am in NO WAY alone! :D Thank you friend.
