My friends have been a great support system this week since I had surgery on Wednesday.
My cousin took a week off of work to help me around the house after my twins were born. My husband had to go out of town.
After an unexpected surgery, my friends took turns bringing us home-cooked meals for a week. This was a tremendous help and so very much appreciated!!

When my parents split up a fews years ago, my friend drove 2.5 hrs and brought chocolate, movies, wine and popcorn...we just hung out and talked for hours. That is why she's still one of my best friends.

The nicest thing would be what we are currently in the process of... my best friend is leaving her husband and we are looking to move her and her kids to another state and I will move from where I am to join her and help her out.

When I had major knee surgery, my mother-in-law drove 1 1/2 hour round trip daily for about three weeks to help me out. She took my oldest to preschool and picked her up and helped with the baby since I couldn't walk without using crutches. My mother helped next with about the same length of time to drive. Yes, they are family but still just as good as friends. My next door neighbor helped as well when she got home from work.

After moving to a new place - my old friends took the time to get a beach trip together for me. They invited my closest friends - we had such an awesome time. It was something I needed at that time.
For my 40th birthday, my best friend (who is also my ex-husband) bought me a trip to Hawaii to visit him. That was the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. The best thing I have ever done for a friend was one time I was at a bar and there was this girl sitting there all teary. I handed her some kleenix. She told me her boyfriend had just broke up with her. I didn't know her prior to this day. But, we started talking and we became really good friends after that.

I wrote a heartfelt letter to my yet to be born granddaughter and I read it at the baby shower. It is so wonderful that your heart can brim with love for someone you have yet to see or meet. My little friends are my treasures!

For my 40th birthday, my female co-workers took me to lunch where we had a wonderful time. For dessert, they had gotten a birthday cake with a huge, black DORK made out of licorice and they made me take a big bite of it! What fun that was! I still laugh about it today....which is quite a number of years later.
My best friend made a guest book for my bridal shower and had everyone sign it.

When my daughter was in the hospital due to ruptured appendix at age 7 for three weeks, a friend took over scheduling other friends to come stay for a few hours at the hospital with her to allow me to spend time with my other 2 children and sleep. The first week I kept refusing her help. The second week, she just took over and it was so great. I hate asking for help.
My friends and I are always there for one another. We give a lot of support for each other.

I prepared a month of meals for a friend that had her 4th baby and delivered it all frozen, in ziplocks and labeled one week before the birth.

My friend painted a Christmas vest for me one year. It was beautiful. I always love wearing it.

Gave me a sweet and thoughtful remembrance after a sudden death in the family. I'll never forget her kindness in that dark time.

My girls have always been there for me throughout our entire 5+ year friendship. They were there for me when my heart was broken after being cheated on after almost 3 years together. They were also there for me when I had my gallbladder out last November. I've always been there for them. I love my girls. :)

When my mother passed away several friends I hadn't been in touch with for a long time came to the funeral. Meant so much to me!

When I was first dating my husband (15 years ago), I was still a poor college student. Somehow it came out that I had a coat on layaway at the TJMaxx. He went there and paid the balance and gave it to me as a surprise. No one had every doen anything like that for me. Guess that sealed the deal!

I have the best best friend in the world so she is always doing wonderful things for me. Last winter I was having trouble heating my home with electric heaters. She went and got me a kerosene heater so we could really warm the place up. She has been there and helped me so many times I can't even begin to relay them all.
My childhood friend has been so supportive these last 2 years. I cannot really express it in words. So thankful.
My mom had a stroke about a year and a half ago and I became her full time caregiver along with the task of sorting out her messy life. All of my dearest friends stepped up for me in the most incredible and supportive ways! My childhood friends on the east coast came to visit me and spoiled my kids when we relocated there for two months; my college roommate tried to help me clean out the house; a friend from AmeriCorps gave me a substantial gift card for my children's Christmas gifts so I could stop worrying about finances and focus on them, and so many others have told me how strong and patient I am when I feel like it couldn't possibly be true. I would have never made it through this crazy, life-changing year without my friends.
Thanks to everyone for participating and sharing such heartwarming stories about friendship!
