"Just tell me what I can help"

The title is my friend's message to me this afternoon, when she asked me if we gonna transfer to our new place.And I said yes, we will be going there on Saturday and as of now I was preparing our things and packed it before the weekend.

My heart was melted when I read her message, she's a very thoughtful friend of mine, she is my classmate during our training on a out of school facility. It feels different knowing that we will leave our place and maybe we have a lot of adjustments there. But, I was happy that we will be together with my husband and the house was fixed immediately by the carpenters.

Why I was so grateful with her(my friend), because I thought that I don't have a true friend anymore, since I get married, I lost a lot of my friends, I'm so busy doing my household chores and even taking care with my kids, having no time to bond with them have creates a gap between us.

This woman is the one that remained consistent with our friendship. Even if we had a not so good history before, when we are singles.

Here's the story:

My friend and her husband was having a relationship during our school days, and they just keep it on secret. I was an officer that time, and it's my responsibility to be on watch those student s who have a relationship. I discovered that they are going out together, they get mad on me, thinking that I told the moderator of the school. Because every student on that facility was not allowed to have a girlfriend and boyfriend, so they disobey the rules.

When everybody knows about them, they are blaming me, and they keep distant with me too at that time.

But I can say that, "once a true will always be true", despite of our misunderstandings and coldness in our relationship, I am glad that she's still willing to respond my messages on messenger.

It's so sad to lose a true friend, because in this life, we do exist with them, although I do have some friends too here in my place but, she was special, because we already known each other for a very long time. I find her so sweet, she's an Ilongga, very nice vocal even she's mad she's still speak to me in a right tone.

Have you tried to tell this too to your friend who needs you?

It's one way of expressing sympathy, or showing to someone that we really care for them. She was clueless how grateful I am during those times that I was so helpless, and she's always to the rescue with me. She's a blessing to us, with her husband who also a godparents of my daughter.

"Sometimes our simple gestures and words have given a great impact to others".

We may not realized it, but it really it is. How beautiful it is to have that kind of connections as we live, even though we don't ask for help, they are very accommodating and willing to help.

Way back 2013,when we used to lived in my husband's place, she had a relative who had a lot of abundance in life, especially in material things. With all due respect to the rich people, but that woman have treated us badly. She said, that she will not allow herself to be close with her relatives, especially those who are in scarcity because, they always asked for help, like money, and other goods for their family, which she really don't like to happen. I know that not all people who people to the upper class were not like her.

What the best thing is that, whatever we have how big or small it is, it is always our privilege to give and share what we can. As far as I know, "the more we give, is the more we can receive" and " it's better to give than to receive". I was hoping that I can extend such kindness that I receive from her. It means so much to me.

As a respond to her good deeds, is to always be true to her and not telling her lies. Like for instance, if I am a clever friend, I would ask her an amount of money just to let her know that I'm in need of help. It happened to my eldest brother when he helped one of our family friend who came to him,and asking him money to buy milk for her grandson, but kin the end, he is ignored by the woman and didn't show up even if she lived in the same village. Once again, it's occasionally happened.

A friend who is having a sense of "accessibility", whenever her friend have something need from her.

A friend that is "priceless", is like a hidden treasure that will never lose its value, even if it goes by through decades.

A friend who is responsive, even in a simple text, she's not insensitive to a friend.

That's what a friend is.
