Time flies when spent with true friends

We all have, at some point in our lives, true friends who in the most difficult moments come to rescue us. When it is time for them to leave and go back to their own daily lives, we never insist for them to stay a little longer. They have their own pains to go back to, their own realities where they feel lonely and afraid in the silence of the night, just as we do.

When we say good bye and then they depart there is always this momentum of uneasy feeling when we separate. In such moments of sadness I smile and say a silent prayer for them and a thank you for having them.
