The Endless Power Friendship

Some of the most import people in your life, Friends.

“Sometimes you have to lose the small battles to win the war.” 

-Sun Tzu

    Friends are with you to the end. They helped me through the toughest part of my life. When my grandmother passed away, my friends were there with me to the end. They sat with me, made me smile, sent me gifts. 

    One friend was stood out to me the most. My family friend, Breadon, he’s so close to us, we call him a cousin. Trust me he could make a dead man smile. When I was sitting with my head in my hands, he went over and converted me without being asked too, and in a couple minutes, I was smiling.

    It was a cold fall day, silent as a mouse I was sitting in the ever quiet funeral home, barely breathing, barely thinking, barely holding back my tears. Relentless waves of family and friends came to me and wished me the best. But no one could cheer me up, or make me feel remotely faster. Then they showed up. They knew my grandmother almost as well as I did, but he, Breadon, put me first, and sat down next to me. Just that simple act made me feel a little bit better, then he started talking to me. At first i wanted him to stop, I couldn’t listen to jokes, but he overpowered me. Soon, I was laughing and smiling. 

    Without friends, without uncontrollable laughter, without love. I don’t know if I would be the same today. If he didn’t cheer me up then, and in the upcoming days, I would still be in that mindless trance I was before he showed up. 

    Friends are with you to the end. The end might be soon, it might be in a while, but that is uncontrollable, so in the time you have left in this world, make the best of it. Laugh a lot, smile, love, but most importantly, be the friend that will never leave.
