Friend???
Have been thinking lately I may need to "fire" a friend. Have you ever had to do this? This has just been making me nuts for a while now. I have this old friend and we used to stay in touch all the time. Now (the past couple years), the only time I hear from him is when he needs something. Now, every phone call, every email starts with..."Hey, I need a favor..." I don't mind helping, but I don't like feeling used either. If he does ask about Grace or I, it always seems to be an afterthought. I can't remember the last phone call or email that was just about how Grace & I are, and catching up. I don't like being used. I think the next "favor" that comes up....it's time for me to say no.

Awww, sorry. But you are right: he is not a friend, you can not call him that, huh?
ReplyDeleteBy definition: a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard. A person who GIVES assistance.
So, does he have these feelings FOR you? I think maybe the word 'friend' has begun to be overused and abused. We have forgotten the real meaning of the word, eh?
Hmmmm....
