The people who just show up are priceless. Most of us have only one or two of those types of friends, at best. And when they show up, it's the closest thing to Jesus in the flesh that we might ever know on this side of eternity. Thanks for sharing MK!

I feel this deeply. My therapist had me write down "reasons to live." One of mine was, "So I can be there for when my friends need me," because over the past few months they were there for me, no questions asked and no invitation. There's nothing I wouldn't do for them.

I lost my infant daughter last year. This resonates so deeply with me. I had just moved across the country at 8 months pregnant and my mother in law carried me through my darkest days. Grief completely clouds your perspective in the initial deepest pain. I was so angry no one else cared that my entire world crumbled before my very eyes, and It was hard for me to be grateful for the one person who was there for me in those moments. Thank you for this reminder 🙏

Awww. Yes. Our friends. Where would we be without them? I'm so lucky to have many of my own.
