One Friend in a Lifetime
Finding just one true friend
in a lifetime
is a true blessing from God.
"I'll be here for you,"
she said to me,
when I told her about the cancer,
I was frightened
of going alone,
and my husband told me
I could go by myself,
but how was I to drive?
The day of my cryosurgery,
Linda called,
"I'll pick you up
in an hour."
My appointment took hours
and her husband was on his own,
but she was with me,
and one of her daughters
was with my children.
As I sobbed from pain
she held my hand,
hers gloved, a mask over her face,
a silly bonnet over her lovely hair,
she soothed me with soft loving words
that only a friend would know to say.
The one person
who should have been with me,
was never there,
but Linda always made time
for my needs,
and I owed her everything,
for had she not been there,
however would I have endured?
God bless you, Linda.
Honorable mention
Adding your comment:
I really tried for nearly 18 years, and he just grew more cold and distant. He watched a football game when I had two of my babies, and on Valentines Day, he cursed me and told me that if I wanted flowers, call the florist and send them to myself. LOL That was embarrassing to be the only woman in the entire courthouse to not have flowers. 
which one of my friends is you BTW?? So I can get a better understanding.. Nice bg by the way 
... hehe. 
But your friend made your life a little easier by being there for you.. and I know.. if I could have.. I would have been too. Amazing write here sweety!!
