The Things I Take For Granted
Week 17 – Thankful Tuesdays
One that I have taken for granted is friendship. I don’t anymore, but I’m thankful that though I have, some of my friends have understood that I haven’t done so intentionally. Two of them especially have been so. But when this has led to friends breaking away, it has hurt, and that’s not a pain I like. There are friends who say, “Don’t worry, it’s their loss,” but for me, friendship is something that has mattered and will continue to. It’s been one to help me through rough patches and I’m sure that it will in the future. So my heartiest thanks to they who have stayed by my side when I have taken them for granted, and though some of them wouldn’t like hearing the word, it’s just in this post, to tell you that though I haven’t been able to be a continuous friend like you have, and I have missed some of your important moments because of that, you still matter to me, and I will try my best to be there when it matters. I’m glad that you didn’t give up on me.

Friends…
I suck at being a good friend and at expressing affection yet I have had those rare few who have taken extra efforts to be by my side whenever I have needed them…
Blessed I am 🙂
Nice post Leo…
Dunno 😛 You’ve been a fine friend to me at least, Pooja 😀 And am glad you’re a friend. Blessed I am to have such friends in my life too.
Interesting post. I believe that friends may not be large in number. Even though less numberwise, they are sincere and for ever.
True. It’s the friendship that counts for me, not the number 🙂 Thanks, Usha ji.
Never been lucky with friends till very very recently :/
Better late than never, Cookie 😀
