I’m very fortunate to have 4 very close friends. My sister was my closest friend she knew me inside out as I knew her. I know your meant to name your partner as your soul mate but for me it was her. I love my friends to bits & would be there for them 100% as they would be for me. But without my daughter in my life & without my sister by my side my life can never be the same or complete. Just the way it is.

To have 4 good friends is so lovely Caza and I would have loved such a close relationship with my sister sadly, that has never been the case. But I can only imagine how you must feel without your daughter and sister in your life. You are loved and that is something special x

Ah that’s made me tearful. That’s a real shame about your sister.

I know how very fortunate in some areas of my life I’ve been

Yes if I just had one close friend to help me with all these emotions or at least distract me from what I feel right now for a little while it would be wonderful. I feel like he is going to get his way and completely crush me. I'm really struggling right now....

Must admit that I said no. But according to Dumbar we can sustain up to 5 intimate friends. Must say i have trouble in thinking who my five are. what about you?

I’ve always thought you could count the number of real on one hand but I’m having trouble doing that!!🙁

I would not wish this on anyone but sometimes it does take a major event for us to realise who we can count on.
