Funny to think that song kind of goes along with this weekend. When you have good people around you, they are willing to lift you up and be strong enough to help carry you when you need help. And boy, have I felt that countless times with my friends, but also witnessed it this weekend.
My friend Pam went off to training for the Air Force (I am probably wrong about this so I apologize Pam). She has been dating my dear dear friend Louie for a while now and he was devastated when she left. So we all tried to take him out and keep his mind off of it as much as possible.
On Saturday night, we surprised Louie with Pam showing up at the local pool hall when he thought she was returning home this Tuesday. I never saw big teddy bear Louie cry before Saturday night. It felt amazing to surprise a friend with such a good surprise.
Sometimes, I wonder about being strong enough for the people around me, and not letting them see at my weakest points. But then I think to myself that those people I try to keep out have seen me during my low points and have stuck around. I don't understand why they do stick around most of the time, but I guess that's what you do when you truly care about someone. It's a give and take with who has to be strong for the both of you at specific times.
