Always Friends
I was cleaning this afternoon during a lovely thunderstorm. I’ve had a stack of books in my way ever since I brought them home from my mother’s…first part of June? I decided that it was finally time to make room on my bookshelves for these new additions instead of just getting frustrated that they were in my way.
On the bookshelf, in MY office, I found Starr’s journal/diary from a couple years ago. At first I didn’t know what it was, so I glanced through it to see and make a decision about where it belonged (I wasn’t reading it…she shares almost everything with me anyway) and this entry popped out at me:
Sunny-
I called you tonight crying cause I felt horrible about life. You made me feel better for sure, but really you just said that we will always be friends.
Instant tears. Knowing that you have a friend can often be what gets you through. So sad that always didn’t last very long on this earth.
I doubt that Starr ever showed Sunny that little note, but I have no doubt that they both knew and shared with each other just how much they were loved.
That kind of friendship is hard to find.
