Old Friends

It's taken me a while, I know. But I want to get back in touch with old friends, particularly those who were vital in my earlier days before my parents isolated me. Why it's taken me so long, I can't say. Not exactly anyway. Part of it might be that my parents isolated me for so long, that I didn't know how to get back in touch with old friends, or maybe I didn't think that they wanted to be friends with me since I didn't hear from anyone for so long (I cannot say that I tried very hard, especially while stilling living with my parents), or maybe I'm just scared about how much everyone's changed, how much I've changed. It's difficult, but after the last bit that I've been through, I think I've realized how valuable friends really are, especially a friend that will stick with you through thick or thin (namely, my husband). He has been the one friend that I have been able to count on, who understands me probably more than anyone on this earth can. He stuck by me when my parents tried to separate us, and even before that he dealt with their tantrums and politics. He dealt with not really having parents-in-law, dealing with my sorrow of basically losing my family, helped me "rescue" my sister, and has generally been supportive. Although at times he could have been more supportive. :) That's all she wrote for now!
