    Saturday Night

Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

Well I read something the other day and it said, if you鈥檝e been friends with someone for 7 years, you鈥檙e highly likely to be friends with them for life. So I did what some of you might be doing now, and聽 immediately thought about all of聽 my friendships that have lasted 7 years. I realised that, I actually couldn鈥檛 imagine my life without any of them. The dynamics of the friendships vary and have probably changed over the years, but I value every single one.聽I have a friend called Joe who was by my side when I opened my GCSE results and realised I didn鈥檛 do as well as I thought, and he was also by my side as a best man on my wedding day. My friends have walked with me through some dark valleys but also some wonderful mountaintops and for that I鈥檓 really grateful.聽

I said a little prayer after reflecting because I really hope I鈥檓 being as good as a friend to them, as they are to me. I had this one friend called Daisy who battled with diabetes and sadly passed away in her sleep on December 19th 2017. We鈥檇 been friends for over a decade and she was the type of friend that always thought about others. Three days after she passed away, I got a card through in the post and it read this.聽Hey lovely, merry Christmas. Hope it鈥檚 the best one yet and I hope you know I love you loads. Lots and lots of love, Daisy.聽

It was incredibly bittersweet. On the one hand it was special that my good friend had spent what she didn鈥檛 know would be her last day, writing me a card and posting it and I鈥檒l be able to keep that forever. But on the other hand, it was a reminder of how much of a hole she left.聽After notoriously being bad at writing birthday and Christmas cards, I promised myself that because of Daisy I鈥檇 start sending them. To be honest with you, I鈥檓 still awful at it and I know she鈥檚 up in heaven laughing at me. But thinking about her this week, has reminded me that I鈥檓 gonna call someone my friend, I鈥檝e gotta try my best to be a pretty good one.
