Lately, I have learned that friendship just may be life's most precious gifts. Friendship gets us through the tough times, the lonely times, the good times, and the times that we feel the world is completely against us.
This past weekend, I joined my best friend on her Bachelorette trip to Memphis, TN http://www.memphistravel.com/. This trip strengthened our friendship and reminded us why we became friends in the first place. When she first announced her engagement, I immediately told her all the reasons that she shouldn't. She is young. They haven't been together long. Life is too short. She asked me not to be her maid of honor and I was crushed. It took weeks to realize that our friendship is better than that. I finally understood that even though odds are against them, they have so many things going for them. Love. Faith. Friendship.
My mom brought it to my attention that I should focus on giving her all of my support this weekend. It meant a lot to my mom that we resolve our problems since she has been worrying about her friend who was transferred to Oshner's Hospital in New Orleans http://www.neworleans.com/?utm_expid=43112794-0 due to a possibility of cancer.
I've learned that it doesn't matter where I stand in her wedding party because I am confident in where I am in her heart. I regret failing her as a friend because she has accepted me, even when I was not worthy of love. True friends are few and far between. I am a blessed individual to have someone so forgiving.

"Making a hundred friends is not a miracle. The miracle is to make a single friend who will stand by your side when hundred are against you." - Unknown
