I'm baaaccck!! I guess ;o)

Well everyone, I think it's obvious it's been a while. QUITE a while :o). For those of you that have actually missed it, I guess I'm blogging again. Or at least will try to. I just have to say the month of March has ROYALLY sucked! Just throwing that out there. It has been long, full of sickness, ridiculous people and just nonsense. So needless to say, I'm glad it's really close to being over. First of all I have to say that I am SO happy for all the wives who have recently had their husbands home and those whos husbands are home now. With that said....I wish they could just stay here and the rest come home already lol. Ok, so back to reality ;o) I actually do have quite a bit to say, but honestly, I'm watching myself (or should I say my mouth) closely here lately. I get that no matter what, all of us have a lot of things going on in our lives and we all have problems. What I don't understand is why people see the need to take all that out on other people. I was raised to love my friends no matter what. If you consider someone a friend, then obviously there has been a moment in time when you saw something in that person worthy of being your friend. When does that change? When do people decided that friend is no longer "worthy" of their respect & consideration?? Last time I checked, we were all on the same "side" here....are we not anymore?? It still blows my mind how you can stand side by side with someone for so long and then in the blink of an eye, you can just turn your back on them. Did you ever really know them at all?? Did you ever care to? It is a sad fact, really, that you have to learn how people really are when now is the time to be more supportive and understanding than ever. It still makes me sad that so many things are going on in my life and I have no control over them. I can't really say to some people what I would like to. But I have learned in the past that people will come and go and only the true ones who stand by your side and support you will remain. Only time will tell who is still standing beside us in the future. Maybe some people have become jaded. Maybe they think they are better....I'll never know. But it's clear to me that if these people were who I thought they were, then they would never say the things they have. I don't know, maybe I just want to say shame on you. Shame on you for not standing up for someone who has bent over backwards for SO many people....someone who gives everything they have and would do anything to help anyone. I'm so very thankful for those of you who have remembered and stood by someone that they KNOW is a damn good person and friend!



I've thought about it a lot over the past few days and my first reaction was anger and the desire to push everyone away. But I'd like to think I'm more compassionate and understanding than that. I'm going to continue to be supportive. I promise to help hold you up when you are weak, because that's what REAL friends and caring people do. I promise to listen to you if you need to talk and I promise that I WILL cry with you when you just can't be strong anymore. I promise not to turn my back on you and hurt you the way you have hurt us. I promise to pray for you, even if you don't believe in my prayers, I DO. I promise to be the friend and person that you were supposed to be, but abandoned at the first sign of difficulty. I promise you.....when you need me, I WILL be here.


I guess that's all. I've probably said too much, but then.....I'm sure I'll hear all about it through the "grapevine" ;o)
