Forgetful me...
So, catching up with a friend on Canada Day, it was brought to my attention that I missed a very good friend's Birthday on June 7th. Almost 1 month later, and I am finally now sending her Birthday wishes. I actually kind of felt sick to my stomach when Mel told me that I forgot. She did say that Dara didn't mind too much since she knows the struggles that I'm going through, but that is still really no excuse on my end.
Dara has actually been such an important shoulder for me through out these struggles. She spent 3 hours on the phone with me on Easter long weekend when I finally got so low that I was basically crying to myself, avoiding phone calls and becoming quite anti-social. She was the only one that I could call at that time, and the only one that I wanted to talk to. She lives in another city, so I don't have the pleasure of seeing her very often, and it had been a long time since we had previously talked. She gave up her whole Friday night to sit on the phone with me while I cried, while I vented, while I basically spilled everything regarding my depression. It was probably one of the more important events that allowed me to confront things, and helped give me the strength that I have today. I think Dara was the second person that I really let in to all of this... I believe she was even involved before my family.
If you ask her, she'll tell you that she was just happy to be able to return a favour for the numerous times I've done that kind of thing for her. But, I don't really think she understands her importance in my life. I really hope she knows that I would trust her with anything in my life, and I think she is well aware of the difficulty I have of letting people get that close.
Lots of love Dara, and happy belated Birthday. I really wish I would have remembered.
P.S. Reminder: Brandi's Birthday is July 11th... Don't forget.
P.P.S. Reminder: Lori's Birthday is July 15th... Don't forget.
