My Mama-san is Very Wise

I want to post something here that my mom posted on my Facebook wall on the 24th. She just said it so well.


Isn't it interesting that some of the people you invested so much time and effort into, and yet now have no time to be concerned, are the ones who can hurt you the most? I guess it's because the relationship seemed to be so important to you. Other relationships just manage themselves easily, with no pressure and always an acceptance of loving you just the way you are. And even when you are a bit snarky, they look at the situation, evaluate, and then try to understand and/or help versus judge. Those are the golden friendships that stand the tests of time. Those are the gifts. Truly Adrienne, you are surrounded by so many wonderful people. Let them fill your days and your life with their love and kindness, and you will find comfort and safety in their friendship and help. Let the other ones go and allow them no more power to hurt you. I know it is easy to say, "just let them go and it will be better" but it isn't always that easy to do. Mourn the loss of the friendship for just a tiny moment, and then glorify the friendships of those truly invested in you and your family. You would most certainly be there for these people, and now they can be and are there for you. Lucky, lucky girl. ♥ love you, sweetheart.
