Just checking on you ....


If you're alone, I'll be your shadow.  If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder.  If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow.  If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile.  But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me.


She called me to my cell and just said "Hi I am here waiting for you to pick me up at the airport" ... she only has @ 40 free hours ... I went to pick her up and she looked at me for a moment ....  "hmmm I came to check on you" just that .... 

When I feel like I messed up or made a big mistake, it is because of you that I finally find forgiveness, acceptance, and reassurance.

When I’m thankful for an answered prayer or a long-held heart’s desire coming true, it is to you whom my heart immediately wants to thank.

When I’m scared, it’s to you that I turn to for safety and protection.

When I’m unsure about what direction to head in – it’s to you that I ask for advice and wisdom.

It’s because you mean everything to me... 

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.  The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
