True Friends will…

The other day I had a meltdown..

you know those days, weeks, years where everything piles up

and piles up…

you smile and work thru it..

I can deal with this…

but it piles up…

the smile cracks to a grimace

it piles more,  gathering force like a magnate

a crap magnate…

Hello! Give me more to deal with!

Poor Jo, called and unknowingly added to it

the landslide was large,

the magnate was full

& I exploded to tears, yelling, snotty tears

then I was mad because I cried

that I couldn’t deal with everything properly

then I got mad at myself for melting down

and being weak,

which created more snotty tears,

everything snowballs to a

full on meltdown

It wasn’t pretty

Poor Jo, was just being a good friend, sister…..

took the full brunt of EVERYTHING

If you can cower in fear, shock on the phone…

I think she did 

Poor thing

we haven’t really spoken since

until this morning…..

she sent me the following e card

True Friendship. You WON'T see  Cutesy little smiley faces On this card- Just the stone cold truth Of our great friendship 1.. When you are sad, I will jump on the person Who made you sad Like a spider monkey Jacked up on Mountain Dew!!! 2. When you are blue, I will try to dislodge Whatever is choking you. 3. When you smile, I will know you are Plotting something That I must be involved in. 4. When you're scared, We will high tail it out of here. 5. When you are worried, I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse It could be until you Quit whining, ya big baby!!!! 6. When you are confused, I will use little words. 7. When you are sick, Stay away from me Until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have. 8. When you fall, I'll pick you up And dust you off-- After I laugh my rear off!! 9. This is my oath... I pledge it to the end. 'Why?' you may ask; -- because you are my FRIEND! *********************** Friendship is like peeing your pants, Everyone can see it, BUT only YOU Can feel the True warmth. **********************
