So true...through tough times, you find out who your real friends are.

It is sad to let that relationship go but you know it is the right thing to do.... life is just too short to have all that drama in there when it isn't needed... I know at times I am sad about it but my life in a whole is just so much MORE, that you can't really miss is.......

"friends are the family you choose" "girlfriends are the sisters god forgot to give you"

with the majority of my family of origin, those two quotes have saved my sanity more than once or twice.

My grandmother used to say "too soon old and too late smart."Thanks for reminding us what is important.

Ames. Thank you for sharing such a powerful statement. It came at a very good time.

I think we all need this reminder from time to time. It took me a very long time to get this figured out, but when I did, I decided that high maintenance friendships, and I had one at the time, just were not worth the time, patience and energy. What a breath of fresh air!
