Shawna and Me
This entry was posted on Saturday, September 20th, 2008 at 11:58 am
Shawna and I recently had a conversation about many important things. One of them included discussing what would happen to her daughter if something happened to Shawna. Her sons both have their fathers, but Sarah’s biological father is not a part of her life. Nick has stepped up to take the role of her father figure. Shawna asked me if I would raise Sarah if anything should ever happen to her. I was profoundly touched by her request. It is not every day that someone asks you to be prepared for something as important as raising a child. I gladly accepted.
Shawna and I have known each other for about eleven years now. We have been through some catastrophes, as well as some great times together. There are difficulties in every relationship and over the years, we have made mistakes regarding each other. However, we love each other very much and we are always able to get past any misunderstandings or misdeeds because we actually communicate with and understand one another.
There have been times we have not been a part of each other’s lives due to growing apart or other circumstances, but we have always found our way back to our friendship. All the bullshit that happened with Nick and Tamara recently has caused me to truly value Shawna’s friendship and not take it for granted. I will not let anything or especially anyone come between Shawna and me again.
I have held on to the philosophy that everything happens for a reason for so long it has become ingrained into my thought processes. Often, when things happen that I do not quite understand I dwell on them until I can make sense of their purpose in my life.
I have concluded that the primary reason my friendships with Nick and Tamara were shaken and most probably destroyed was to bring Shawna and me closer together again. Goddess knows Shawna has stepped up to be here for me through this bullshit and I love her even more for it. Her true friendship is worth the sacrifice of the superficial friendships I had with Nick and Tamara.
