Shoulder to Lean On

It is amazing how sometimes you can feel so distant from someone. Even someone you love. It happens to everyone sometime in their life. You are going about your day and then you feel depressed or sad, and you have no words to describe how you feel.

It is like a sudden cloud has come over your head and is raining on you. Sometimes you get lucky and find someone you can talk to. They might be able to ease the pain, the sorrow, the depression, and even the loneliness. They are the shoulder that you cry on, the person you depend on, and they are always there when you need them.

For a lot of people that is their siblings, a parent, a best friend, or anyone you feel you can trust. Sometimes your spouse just can't help you, and there is no shame in that. Maybe it is because they help you so much through out your life that sometimes you need someone different. For me it is always my friends. They can see the light at the end of the tunnel when I can't. I can see the light at the end of their tunnel too. There is nothing like a friend. They don't take the place of a partner in any way, they are just friends you can talk to and depend on when you need help.

So if you haven't talked to your friend for a long time, call them! Tell them how much you care about them, and how you are so glad that you can be there for each other.
