Special Circle Of Friends

First I would like to state for the record that all my friends are very special to me. That I always tried not to make one more special than the other. They each have their own qualities that bring something special into my life each and every day. Whether it is their sense of humor or their ability to give advice. Each one of them holds a special place in my heart. I am glad to be friends with each one of them. This includes all my friends both on and off line.

However, among the many friends there is a special group, a circle of friends. You could say we belong to a select society if you will. We share love, laughter and tears. It is a society where there is really only one membership requirement. It is a requirement we all have met. It is a requirement that no one should ever have to meet. Our circle is one that you do not wish to join this society. For if we all had our way we would not belong to it either. For your journey starts at disbelief and takes you on a lot of challenges. The road of these challenges contain a lot of twist and turns. Ups and downs and flood of tears. Moments of hopelessness, lack of will and desire to give it one more good ole college try.
The times of hunger but not being able to eat. The hours of visiting the tidy bowl man a little too much. Sleeping for hours on end or not sleeping at all. Concentration now is a word in the dictionary. Energy and zest is for the other guy. Rain clouds are covering with the storms they contain. Being in a place you just wish would close down and go away. Not wanting to face another day. Tired of the roller coaster ride. Just wanting to let go.

No its not a fun society to join. My friends and I pray with all our hearts that you never have to submit your application to our society. For the applications we receive unfortunately guarantee you membership to our little circle. We all did not want to be members and if you should gain status of blessed outcome, you are always in the circle. In the society for it’s a lifetime membership.

We formed the inner circle, the special circle of friends not by merely choice but by desire and necessity. We all need to lean on someone from time to time. In this society leaning on becomes a big part of your life. Love, laughter and tears also are a normal occurrence that just becomes part of you. We have held each others hands, helped each other attain one more ounce of energy for the day. Given each other gifts of hope, a rainbow to follow and warmth of loving one another. We have shared our stories, we have shared our lives. We have relished in one another’s triumphs and cried our tears for one another’s pain. We have become each other’s cheering section and each others hand to hold. Each of us have mustard up some strength within ourselves when another one needed it more than we did. We have stood strong and planted our feet firmly to the ground to hold up each one’s spirit and soul. We have cried when it became worse, we have rejoiced when the rain was stopping. We have seen one another grow and regain. We have also lost a few unfortunately along the way. Their memory and courage will always be with our memory. Their soul will always have a spot in our hearts. For they will never be forgotten. We have grieved their memory and rejoiced in the moments of glory they had. We admired their will to try just one more time, even when we all knew deep inside that this was going to be the last time. We all knew when we entered this society the outcome was not our decision to make. Our own desire to attain what we wanted was but not the final say. It belonged to a higher power greater than any man alive today. We had made peace with this fact on our first step to our circle. We had made sure all we needed to say was said. For we never know when, how or where it will strike. If we will have rain clouds that led to thunder and a final large storm. Or if we get rain and then sunshine that leads to a rainbow. A rainbow we all hope and pray will be with us for a very long time. This is our society, this is our circle of Special Friends.

Did I forget to mention what was the only requirement to our circle. The one we hope and pray that you never meet. Simply put it is cancer. I with a few of my friends were lucky and got a rainbow at the end of our rain. However, we do not kid ourselves. For we know we have no guarantees that our rainbow will remain. We also know the rain may pour again and we may need another rainbow to appear. We also know that we may end up with a storm that leads to darkness. For those we had to say good-bye too with our love, laughter and tears we still hold you dear to us. Your memory is always in our minds and your spirit of life and friendship and love will always be part of our hearts and guide our souls.

Yes I am to be pesky here now I am asking everyone to donate to cancer whether your on year book and can donate lunch money to cancer research and if you can not then just simply put one of the cancer support ribbons on your page.

For all of you that are on other sites such as my space, face book, tagged, bebo et.. Please place cancer support ribbon on your site.

As always everyone can donate to cancer causes each and every day these donations are tax deductible but most importantly they may just may give someone else a rainbow.
