for a friend

A friend of mine, is facing life head on…and it’s not an easy ride.

Her life has taken some interesting and fruitful twists and turns and even on her hardest days, she has always been there for me. Endlessly.

If I told you that she has stuck with me, through darkest days and brightest suns, and seen beyond herself in every way, in every day, you’d understand.

She has been there for me and Cameron, above, beyond and sideways into the call of duty and  friendship.

She is never ashamed to admit defeat or fault, and always quick to recognise and honour the best in a person.

If I told you that this a woman who fears nothing, not even failure.

In everything she does, she gives of herself and then some. She never gives up.

She inspires me every day. Cam has told me that one day she would like to grow up to be just like her.

And life, life has dealt my friend a dud turn of events. She needs all the love and strength in the world to get through this rut and out into the stream of life she deserves to swim in.

She needs to take a situation of head, heart, mind, life, soul, past and future, and face it. Face it without fear.

I know she will. I know she will shine through to a sunnier day, and a starry night.

She deserves every sunny day and every single starry night.

But, for now, this post is for her.

She resonated with this quote so much, and so today, I’m thinking of her, as I raise my teacup and type this out.

Courage does not always roar. sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day that says “i will try again tomorrow” – mary anne radmacher

Love you, mz star. Your army awaits you.
