Its stars are 50(ish) and dealing with day to day struggles just like many of us. The underlining story line is Friendship.
I cried during this movie and while watching it thought of all the wonderful friends I have made here through the years. Friendship. It is the foundation for which Love is built and oh so precious.
Now, I mentioned that I cried through this movie and perhaps that is because I just completed another round of chemo and my levels are just completely whacky. They fill me with so many steroids so that my body will not reject the poison that they are pumping through my veins. Hopefully this will put me in a longer remission this time to enjoy the Friendships I hold so dear. Right now I just hope that it provides me more time to meet the Friends who brighten my days and are so dear to me. I mention this because I have not been online here much and this is the reason why.
Recently I have been saddened to read of the loss of a Friendship. I have personally chosen not to reply to the threads posted ( until now ) because my heart just breaks with the loss of it all. I know each of these ladies so well and my heart is desperately hoping that it was all a misunderstanding. Anyway, what could I possibly post that will take away the pain ? You might ask how such close and loving Friendships can develop when you might never have met the other in person? Well, all I can say is, come to one of the Meet Ups and witness for yourself. Fellowship is strong and alive on this forum.... which leads to Friendship .... which leads to strong bonds of Love and Family. When something happens to break that bond it is painful and not only for the persons involved , but to those who love and cherish them.
The Friendships I have made along the way here have been of everlasting joy to me and I treasure every beautiful Friend I have met and those I hope to meet in the future. Friendship. It is the root of Love and isn't that just the greatest Gift we could possibly be given?
I pray with all my heart that my friends understand why I have chosen to reply in my own way.
Friends. I do cherish you all and I will continue to pray that this pain can be healed and hoping with all my might that it was just a misunderstanding.
