A Friend

I am what you would call very slow to make friends. In fact, depending on your definition of friend, I may not have any. My "friends" are more like acquaintances. I have become acquainted with a lot of people through book clubs, writing groups, church, and my neighborhood but to say any of them are real friends, I'm not sure. I try to be "friendly" but I feel like I'm always holding back just a little. And there's that old saying...to have a friend you must be a friend. It's quite a commitment. My one true friend is no longer in this world. When I think of him, I know what a friend is. To be that to someone else again may be more than I can handle.

until next time...c
