Friendship

I had an experience today that made me want to help people more. I was chatting with someone who had an episode while talking. I had posted in another post that it's too bad we couldn't live in the same city/town. Today really open my eyes on how true I felt about that statement. As I was chatting I felt there was something wrong and all I could do is talk to this person. With my idea I could've at least been able to physically check on this person. This person assured me they were ok. I would gladly go thru this again if I know I can help. I'm glad I was there for them and they just wanted me to keep talking. I'm glad everything turned out for the good and I didn't lose a friend. 💖

Well done you, l too get very concerned about people ayy. Times by their tone, and like to check back in. Iyd great to be able to help in some way

Sometimes my friend listening is all we can do and sometimes all we need. If someone is helped, it makes the heart happy and I am happy to know that someone turned to you for help and realized they had a good friend at HU.
