Have you ever been so happy at someone else's happiness, as much as if it had happened to yourself? There is a friend I have, who over the last 4 years has had such an unbelieveably stressful and traumatic time that it is beyond my total comprehension how she coped. Added to that, her childhood had many examples of unhappy times, none of which was her fault. If there had been one saving grace in the last 4 years, it was her very loving, very loyal and very giving boyfriend.
I just got a text from her 10 minutes ago. Her biggest wish has come true!!!!!! In front of all her family and friends (at her homeplace), on New Years eve and on bended knee, he proposed!!!! How happy am I for them both, but especially for her!!! So excited to sense, even in a text message, how happy she is as this happiness she deserves after such a long battle with various life experiences in her family.
Just goes to prove, that good things eventually do happen to good people :-).
What a lovely ending. I find as I get older that only people who are TRULY unselfish towards you can REALLY be happy for you!! Sxx
ReplyDeleteSo getting married is a good thing?

Something that makes someone happy is a good thing, for my two friends in this case, getting married ;-)
DeleteHmm, considering about 50% of married people getting divorced, I'm not so sure. But if your friend is happy, good for her!

Life comes with highs and lows, as long as you appreciate the lows as they hit, the highs are so much better to savour.
