Real Friends

LOCATION: My Home , Tampa, Florida

YEAR: 2005

TAGS: friends, Tracy Lawrence

Although I didn’t hear this song until last year it embodies the thoughts and feelings I experienced after the death of my late husband in 2005.  When tragedy strikes everyone is there to comfort and console you for the first couple weeks.  Don’t get me wrong, I appreciated everything that everyone did for me during that time and it helped to have them around.  However, what I’ve found through that experience is that after that initial period they all go back to their own lives and you are left to deal with the tragedy after the numbness wears off pretty much on your own, unless you have at least one good, true, and forever friend.
 When my friend Michelle lost her husband in 2007 this song was just hitting the charts and I included in on a CD of songs just for her.  About a month after her tragedy we were having breakfast and chatting when she asked if I remembered the song.  When I said yes, she smiled.
“It’s true and you were right—everyone but the truest friends have disappeared.”
 Thank God, for real friends!

A best friend will be in the cell next to you saying Damn! that was fun." True friends are what makes life worth living. (4/9/2008)
