Hi Firecrackers

Just a quick check in. Kids doing exams so finishing at funny times so all go. Today has been a difficult one. It's daughters 14th birthday and her Godmother who died last week had already chosen a present for her. Very emotional, she's holding in a lot of the grief and does not cry like my other daughter. Of course I'm blubbering all over the place!! Luckily my older daughter is performing in a musical tonight and I need to collect her around 11. That makes the battle with Al easier and for today I will not drink.

East, you are my inspiration, I can relate to so much of what you say. Here's to the next 60. Everyone else have a lovely evening.

:welcome: to Mitz jump aboard!
Mad Mummy well done on 5 days AF they soon mount up especially when time goes as fast as this!

Teardrop You are right on two counts ,we do want Suki back :l And where is our summer?

Kat20 Its holiday weekend here too although the weather is not going to be any good in the UK Glad my windows done!

Lukalee You too have a very happy day,blow those cobwebs away and hopefully you won't feel so tired as of late.

Rustop I was never one to cry and still find it hard in anyones company.
We all grieve in different ways. I thought something was wrong with me when I was young and my grandfather passed away, Everyone was upset, I could not cry, My way of denying that anything had happened I suppose. Six months almost to the day after he died, I burst into tears in the classroom,it just suddenly hit me. Its like my dad said its not the concious injured you need to care for, but the silent ones. Still waters run very deep.
Thinking of you and take care :l

Sweetpea Hope you are OK.

Have a great day

Eastx

:drama::hateputer: Morning all

As you can see I hate my puter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I am now up and running again. Posted on East's 60 day thread and the b****y thing died on me again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haven't got the gentle touch obviously!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway I am bit of a sad pea at the moment :upset: nothing too serious but enough to make me feel very down depressed and lonely so what better place to come than to the Firecracker thread where I know each and every one of you are always there for each other :l Thank God I found you is all I can say:h

I want some very important questions answered so I don't think I am making a drama out of my misery and I know i can ask you all to be very honest with me so here goes

What is a friend?
What is important about a friendship?
What should you do to become someones friend?

Sorry to be such a misery guts but I so unhappy and am now beginning to wonder whether my expectations are so widely off the mark. I have tried on this thread to be supportive to everyone and I hope I have demonstrated I am a person that is honest supportive and truthful. If any of you ask me a question I am always honest in a non judge mental way and try to give helpful answers to help you make your own decisions. My misery is nothing to do with anyone from MWO - but what you see of me on this thread is what I am so I was just wanting your comments to help me in the real world so to speak - Sorry that sounds a bit gobbledygook but I think you will understand

Anyway enough of me I send loads and loads of love to you all - this thread and everyone on it means the world to me xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sweetpea xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Firecrackers

Sweetpea, so good to see you back. You have been and continue to be a wonderful, supportive friend to all of here in MWO. To me friends are the family you choose for yourself. They should be there for you in good times and bad. If they are not then maybe you have to face the fact that really they are not that good of friend. It's hard, I know and sometimes we dont want to see it.

During the past few difficult weeks I have been astounded by how good my friends have been to me. One in particular has been brutally honest and I needed it. Thanks to her I have taken steps regarding my in-laws that I would not have otherwise and I feel much better inside as a result. Speaking of in-laws they are all so self-centered and wrapped up in themselves that they cannot give to anyone and there are a lot of people out there like that. Dont know if that makes any sense or is of any help. Hang in there and come and offload on us here, that's what we are here for.

Everyone else big hello, catch you all later.

Hi Firecrackers

Sweetpea welcome back - just love your animated thingy throwing the computer, brilliant. I agree with Rustop you seem to me to be the best kind of friend material. Always supportive, honest etc. I think sometimes people accuse you of being a bad kind of friend because they want it all their own way. I was on the receiving end of that kind of thing last week and it really hurt. But I took time and looked at what this person had accused me of doing/not doing and actually that was a fair reflection of their own behaviour not mine! Which sounds really rambling but I hope it makes sense.

See you all later.

Hi Firecrackers,

Sweetpea In answer to your questions, I have three words of wisdom,that have helped me in the past.


What is a friend?

A friend is a person with whom you dare to be yourself. -Pam Brown

What is important about friendship?

Oh the comfort,the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person;
having neither to weigh thought nor measure words,but to pour them out.
Just as they are -chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping,and then with a breath of kindness,blow the rest away.
Mary Ann Evans(George Elliot)

What should you do to be someones friend

Don't walk in front of me,
I may not follow,
Don't walk behind me,
I may not lead.
Walk beside me
And just be my friend
Albert Camus

Had to answer this, Hope it helps, but need to dash will try to post later,
Have a great day everyone
