Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A Lost Friend Comes Home.


--by splain, posted May 6, 2017
Change is something we can all do but often don't. I had a friend that I knew for nearly 40 yrs. The most beautiful, loving person I had known. Also the most shattered and broken woman I had ever met. But what she was, was pure kindness. We were a good match. Kind attracts kind. As we all know.

I spent years changing, falling, getting up and changing. It was hard and often lonely. She spent years being used, broken helping and still letting others walk all over her. I tried to help her, as I was helping myself, to move up and put herself first.

Over those years we broke up as friends three times. Always for the same reason, she was a victim and couldn't put herself first. Well we found each other again, two years ago and it was like coming home to a very loved sister.

The change in her is amazing. How I reacted to her 'down' times, changed. I loved her but her life and how it went was her decision. I am in awe at what she is now doing. Putting herself first, loving life and moving up and above. We both have grown so much that it is a pleasure and wonderful when we meet, have a hug and talk.

The light was always there in her but couldn't get out. Now we walk together in the same direction and boy do we light the world up. I am so grateful for this beautiful friendship.
