Pulling Together and Falling Apart

Isn't it funny how you never know what you have until you really need it? Gotcha didn't I? You thought I was going to say "until it's gone" and well, that's true too. I always knew I had a lot of good friends but I never realized exactly what I had until my world was crumbling around me. As all the stars I'd ever wished on fell from the sky and smashed all I'd ever worked for, I suddenly had a wall of support and love protecting me. My friends rallied around me offering everything they could, even just a hug and a shoulder. It feels great to be so loved. And as I watch my life fall apart everybody I love is pulling together.
