Isn't it true that sometimes we meet people and they completely change our lives. Sometimes a friend, sometimes a mentor, other times a lover. Often we are not meant to be in each other's lives forever. But, these people always leave us with special memories. A piece of them remains in our hearts forever. I truly believe at difficult times in our lives God sends us people to help and guide us. We just need to open our hearts to let them in. I believe we can love people without being in love with them.
Eighteen years ago I was in a very dark place. My mind was full of thoughts of self harm. I was online one day and logged onto ICQ. I started chatting with a guy. We just chatting all day about everything. We chatted and spoke on the phone everyday for many years. We eventually discovered we were in similar situations and we ended up being each other's best friends. We were the rock in each other's lives. Providing courage, support and love to each other. We were there for each other through the most difficult times of our lives and eventually we emerged on the other side. We are friends forever even though we have never met. We have both moved on and are happy in our lives and no longer need each other as a crutch to lean on. But our friendship endures eighteen years later and we still keep weekly contact with each other.
