The true test of friendship comes under unfavorable situations. I have gone through series of turmoil, aside from God, I have friends who kept me standing still.

Among my friends, there?s this one person who stands out. She pushes me everytime I need a lift. She tells me the right thing to do when I make mistakes. She tells me honestly my imperfections. She reaches out everytime I need help. She has her flaws also and I know there?s no such thing as perfect, but she?s already close to it.

I think, she?s more of a friend to me than I am to her. Oftentimes, I think I have failed her. Guilty of charge, I didn?t treat her well when I have mood swings. Yet, she never left me and continue to understand me, which amazes me. This might be too much to say (er, write?), but truly, this person has a good soul. Never did she asks anything in return for all the favors she had done for me. That?s why we weren?t spared of controversies. That is because she?s a lesbian. I knew our closeness would bring feisty intrigues. The first time I heard the intrigue between us, I avoided her, which is something I regret of. I shouldn?t got affected with stupid-minds people who enjoy discussing other lives. Later on, I realized our friendship matters to me most than of what other?s might think or say.

We rarely see each other now but I would like to tell her on her special day how grateful I am for having her as a friend. A friend I would never forget til the rest of my life. Though it?s late, I still wish her a happy birthday. May God continue to bless you, MAUREEN DORIA! :)
