Little Piece of Paper

Today's post is really for yesterday, but I did not think of it until last night around midnight, so here I am. :)

Last night I got a phone call from one of my friends who was very distraught. I can not go into details about who this friend was or what they discussed with me, but what I can say is that I am honored. Now don't get me wrong, I wish my friend did not have to experience any of the pain that is happening in their life. It tears me up inside to think they are hurting like this, while on the phone with them I swear I was crying just as much. If you know me, you know how deeply and passionately I love and care for people, especially those close to me. What I am honored about is that out of everybody in this persons life, they chose me. I'm the one person they go to, the one person they don't feel they have to put a mask on for. And I don't want them too. Unlike others, I don't expect them to be strong, even though I know you are, even if you gave in, I would love you just the same. Being there for you every step of the way.

Through those 60+ pages, I promise you, I'll always be the little piece of paper.
