If you ever need someone in your life to look after you. If you ever need someone to “talk you down” and make sure your feet are firmly on the ground then it is friends that do that. Once again this weekend I had my friend who’s friends had let her down in the worst possible way and put her in danger. Lost out in a big city, not knowing where she was, alone with little money and not feeling well. She was hysterical (and I know reading this, so I hope she sees my point rather than thinking I am publicising her problems…) and she phoned me. I spent a good while trying to calm her down and in the process got understandably worried and upset again myself.

But whereas last time I was alone, this time I had my friends around me, two of whom knew what I had gone through the week before and they kept me calm, even one of them offering to talk to her to calm her down as I was failing.

If you have friends going through a hard time then I hope you are there for them. If not then why not.? One day you might be needing them.

In the end I just want to thank my friends for being there, because if they hadn’t then I would be a mess by now.

Thank you. I love you guys.
