Be there for the ones you care about

I just found out one of my best guy friends was abused - physically and emotionally - for an entire year. Now all the missing pieces fit together as I finally realise why there would be times when he would be so down and upset; unable to talk to anyone and nothing could put a smile on his face. I dismissed it, thinking that everyone had their days.. Until today when he told me the reason why.

It shocked me, when he told me. I didn't expect it - the fact that he'd been abused in so many ways. I guess .. when we find out things like this, and our friends tell us not to tell anyone, it's something that makes us more mature. Having a responsibility. Caring for someone enough. You know? And the fact that he went through this makes me care about him so much more. I have hatred currently for the person that did this to him, but I'm glad my friend is coping now and this person that abused him is out of his life. For that I am glad.

I'm happy I can be there for him.

So I guess the moral of today's post is.. be there for the ones you care about.

They need you just as much as you need them.
