After 6 hours of class and an 1.5 hr drive I finally made it back to Wash MO to be with my family. With everyone home the house was much louder but I love it. That means everyone is back catching up, talking, teasing, and yes causing trouble. I talked to my Grandma tonight for a few minutes and she seems pretty upbeat. I think the reality that Grandpa is gone hasn't set in, I don't think it has even set in for me either.
I appreciate the calls, cards, those friends who have offered to help me out in any way they can. That means a lot to me. My friends are people who I have taken the time to know and they have taken the time to get to know me. Even though I may not talk to each of them every day I know I can count on them when I need them. There is loyalty in our relationships that I cherish. Along with loyalty goes trust, which for me is something I perhaps guard too much. It is difficult for me to simply meet someone and pour out my feelings to them. When it comes to loyalty and trust in friendship it comes down to having your friends best interest at heart. I don't think "friends" use each others weakness or moments of poor judgement against them. No hugs for those people who claim to be "friends."
PS if you are one of my friends and reading this I am not writing this in regards to any of you. Perhaps it is to a so called friend of someone close to me that is not loyal or trustworthy. Enough said on that.
Tomorrow is going to be a tough day...Meg
