A friend in need.

I have a buddy many many miles away who is going through a gut-wrench. We spoke about it and I felt so helpless for him. Advice from the unqualified - that's me. But I tried to help while he kept apologizing for even bringing his problem to the conversation. I told him friends are friends, and I'd try to help because that's what true friends do. I care.

I've always wished I could find the words to make a difference... the speech or whisper that REALLY made a difference. Somehow I doubt I've scored the way I want to - but wouldn't it be great - just once - to turn the tide or clear the despair, to bring hope, to inspire, to help... with words!
