True Friends

I was at a meeting tonight with some friends. After the meeting ended, we were preparing for the next meeting. That's when it happened. The pregnant girl whom I've seen come into our meetings for sometime, was now here but with her baby. Immediately, the room erupts with the oohs and awes that are to be expected. Without even a chance to react, my dear friend Kimberly swoops in to the rescue. She drags me away on an errand. One that could've been delayed until the hallway congestion was clear. It was that very moment that I realized how truly blessed I am to have her in my life. She has been there for me and been a blessing on so many occasions. This is one of the most considerate and thoughtful gifts I could ever imagine receiving. For her to instinctively know my heart and the pain that was about to plow through my soul and act on it shows how much beauty her heart holds. That is a true friend!  I'm so thankful to have her and so many other great friends in this journey.  Couldn't hold back the tears as I was telling Mike the story. Not because of the baby and the oohs & awes but because I am so deeply touched by the love of a friend.
