Dear Angel,

When you get to be the age where you can consider people to be your close friends, remember these:

-When they are going through something you don't understand, don't turn your back on them.

-If they truly are your best friend, you should be able to rely on them with just about anything.

-Remember to make sure they know that they can rely on you with anything too though.

-If you need help with something, you should be able to call them and they'll answer.

-When something serious is going on with them, stay by there side and talk it out. But if its something that is long term and professional help is needed, ask for it. Eventually the stress will keep stretching you and stretching you, until you reach the breaking point (this is always my problem).

-Fights are normal between friends. If you really are friends, you both will rebound from the fight.

-If they really need someone to talk to, listen. Stay up with them until midnight until they fall asleep (I did that around 3 weeks ago)

-Remember to stick with your friends. Don't let somebody get between you and them, (a.k.a. a boy)

Don't forget these things, ever.

If rainbows really had pots of gold at the end, I wouldn't need it because of you.

Love Mom ♥
