Awe Struck

WOW. This past week has been very informative. I have learned alot about myself and what REAL friendship is all about. I have learned that I am not alone in my troubles and concerns about life, and I have learned that even though things happen in your life, and people go their separate ways, true friendship is still there. It's that thread that hold us all together. I learned that I made impressions on people that have lasted through the years, and that they were good. I learned that people forgive and forget, and are willing to take up friendships that fell to the way side years ago. I found that people I hadn't thought about in years, not only remember me, but have fond memories. I also learned that they, too, are glad we have reconnected, and want to take up where we left off. We all have certain regrets in life. My biggest regret is the time I have lost with people that are no longer with us. It's made me realize how important everyone in our lives are, and we should make the most of the time we have with them. Take each moment, and hold it close. Learn what it feels like, smells like, and burn that memory into our hearts forever. Once it's gone, you can never get it back, but the memory will be there forever. It's God's way of giving you that loving embrace when you need it. It's there to cheer you up, make you feel loved, and most of all, fill up the loneliness. Everyone has days when they need the warm, loving feel of their parents, or brothers or sisters or friends, that have passed on. Use those memories to fill the emptiness. That's why we have them.
