Friends come and go but true friendships are ones that surprise us when life events don't.
I have come to the conclusion that what is important is how we react to the ones that betray us. Sometimes, we are trusting and when that trust is broken, how we deal with that betrayal is our strength. I have been sickened by things that have happened and friends that really are ones that sell us to the devil. When we can pick ourselves up and realize what can I learn from this...and when the answer is, I will not react and do same to someone else is when the applause and standing ovation is earned. You are the star. Broken friendships may sadden us but the ones that stick by us will show up, and they are the people that we can thank heaven for being there, when others are gone.
