(OMG THE CURE!!) I am the type of friend that is there through and through, if you were to fall sick tonight I would be there to vacuum up all your dog hair without complaint. Goodness knows I would drop just about anything for my friends when they need it.K2daKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10198886613747368950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4766142680951037058.post-22421451391447007922008-08-18T19:35:00.000-04:002008-08-18T19:35:00.000-04:00Totally agree with Monkey #2 that friendships are ...Totally agree with Monkey #2 that friendships are harder than relationships - from experience! I had the rare luck of getting to start over with a clean slate awhile back, and it's interesting to see how much better that turned out (wink, wink, nudge, nudge...).Sarah B.

I love my step-mom and would do anything for her, but distance keeps me from being there to clean house and cook meals. Yet, there is a woman in town who I know needs everyones support as she deals with cancer and I don't do all I can do. <BR/><BR/>It is funny you wrote about this, after church Dan and I had the same conversation. How important is a support system? Is it more important to women than to men? Who would we call? Must be the day for deep thoughts!<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry your toe hurts, take it from one who experiences large amounts of foot pain...it is no fun!! Also, you might be suprised to know the folks who would be there are the ones you would least expect!Lennyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00437152011277318795noreply@blogger.com
