one of those sleepless nights...

You realize in a crisis exactly who your personal guards are. but that's always exciting -- that always comes with a story of heroism and bravado as a reward. Then, there are those times when everything just seems in excrutiating limbo. you're boring, you have no stories, and more than oft you have only complaining to do. tonight i realized that it is the second kind of support that defines a true friend -- the one that sticks around just to make you feel better or listen to you rant or give you wine to wash it all down. i've been in that state for the last three days and i have had two friends, a beau, and a close brother show colors even i had never seen before. caring, supportive, honest, championing...i have to put the hands high in the air for them. i would be lost without them in all honesty and have no idea how to tell them just how much i love them without words. i'll think of something and let you know. :-)
