My Friend

Dear ________,

Where do I begin? We’ve been such good friends to each other and I want you to know how much I treasure your trust in me to confide such privileged information that you’re pregnant. When you told me, I was both excited and shocked at the same time. But then I felt concern because lately you’ve seemed so confused and scared.

I know there are so many things you want to do with your life and that a baby seems to be standing in your way of achieving your dreams. But it doesn’t have to be that way! A baby doesn’t ruin your life; it just changes it. And those can very well be positive changes! I can help you juggle motherhood. I’ll even hold your hand while in labor!  I just want you to know that I am here to help in any way that I can.  You are not alone. Please call me. I care. 

Love, your friend...

Hey Girl, Please don’t feel so alone. The good thing about friendship is that we don’t let each other face our struggles alone. We’ve always been able to talk to each other about anything. What is it you are thinking about? What can I do? Just remember, you have so many people supporting you.  You can do anything with that much love. 

Remember when I was going through such a tough time? Your friendship meant the world to me. You didn’t run because you felt helpless. You ran to me because it was about ME and MY struggles, not about how you felt.  That says a lot because you put yourself aside for me.

It goes both ways. I may not understand everything you are going through, but I’m here. I am here to listen, comfort, love, talk, give, support, to be whatever you need. This time it is all about YOU.  It is also about your strengths and abilities, and what you CAN do, NOT what you CAN’T.  I look forward to being here for you. 

Love, your friend...
