I have a friend that I had to lovingly let go. We had very different perspectives on what being a friend meant. There was no right or wrong...just different. Unfortunately, we lacked the ability to find a happy medium that made our friendship enjoyable, and we went our separate ways. Today, I realized that the ability for two people to separate, for the reason that you care for the other so much and desire them to be happy and accepted for who they are without question or doubt, IS a gift of friendship. We were able to take care of ourselves as well as one another. This experience gave me a different definition of "friendship", and that at times "friendship" can come in forms we don't recognize.
I am grateful for the lesson.

This goes hand in hand with my reason season lifetime, poem and I think can be used in more then just friendships. I also think that this was a post that due to timing a few people in my life took personal. This absolutely had nothing to do with anyone or anything I personally was going through. and actually helped someone else make a very important decision. I simply shared it on my wall so others that may need to realize this would have it available to them.
