“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.”
Henri Nouwen
This beautiful songbird landed in my life not long ago like a big sister, guardian angel and a soul sister wrapped in one. It is said people, things, opportunities, lessons and even troubles come to you at just the right moment, if you are open to them…I believe that more than ever.
I am so blessed with such wonderful people in my life, some have been here a lifetime, others a while and many of late, a moment; yet all are of great value to me and new friendship never diminishing the value of one that has endured the test of time.
