Pity???


I was called a cold, uncaring and unfeeling person the other day by someone who overheard a conversation I was having with a friend. This friend has lost a . Two yrs ago in an accident in MT that claimed 5 . She told me I should have pitied my friend for her loss. I just looked at her and walked away. My friend does not require my pity. Just my love and understanding when she has a bad day. My friend deserves my time, my love and my undivided attention when she wants to talk of her . I give this to her, NOT pity. I know she loves her dearly to this day, I know she still wonders the WHYs. But also having known her , she has gone on with life.
She is not the only one at work who has loss that I am friends with. Another friend lost her at birth. I cried with her when she showed me her picture. I cried for her and her family when I heard the news. I cry for her still, but not pity.
No one can tell her why. I grieve with her. I don't pity her. She has known love also and loss. This is life. Its not easy. I pity those who have yet to be touched by it.
Another is going through breast cancer. I bluntly ask her how she is doing, her treatments..she wants to be heard, listened to, understood. NOT pitied because she is ill. She is after all of us to get our 'boobie checks' and not wait as she did. I have mine scheduled for this Friday.
I do not pity them for having the strength to move on and live life now changed. I give them my love, friendship, support and understanding.

That is what true friendship is young lady. I agree pitty does nothing . To love our friends we have to share what we have wich is our time and understanding to help them overcome obstacles put in their path. Life is only a teacher and we are the students. Stay safe Mike
