Mood: Thankful
Fuelled By: Friendship
Listening To: The Fray

In the last 12 hours my life has fallen apart. Yet, no less than 8 friends have either called, text me, or turned up on my doorstep. I am so utterly thankful for each of their friendships.

I honestly believe that in times like these we can take comfort in the presence of our friends. People who have no biological obligation to us, people who are just there because they want to be. It warms my heart to know that my friends will drive to my house in the middle of the night wearing pj's. Seriously. One did.

I have had many friends over the years. Some have fallen by the wayside (as is natural) and some have clung on for dear life through the inevitable trials and tribulations of growing up. Yet each and every person has taught me something, contributed to the tapestry that is my life, and changed me as a person.

I know that the next few months are going to be difficult. I have not only my own emotions to deal with, but those of my children. But I also know that with a little help from my friends I will survive.
