My Best Friend Mary
Find a Conversation

As you all know who read my posts last friday about the attempt, it really shook me up. One of the worst days of my life. I have since however been speaking to Mo (nickname for Mary) alot via phone and email. She sounds so much better, I love to hear her laughing again... but i know deep down she may still be hurting. My point is that no matter what she will always be my best friend who I consider to be my true kindred sister. I met her 4 years ago on another IV board, and at that time we were both seriously struggling with eating disorders (we still do every day, unfortunatly). But in Mo I found the very best friend ever.. and to lose her i would be losing a huge part of myself. She was with me from the hardest times of my life when I had a miscarriage all the way to be on the phone with me constantly when I was getting ready to have my healthy baby girl. I think the whole "blood thicker than water" is an exception in this case, because she is the best sister I could ask for. We get to meet up again with our familys in October.. and i CANNOT WAIT!! She will finally get to meet my now 16 month old daughter Rylee.. it will defintly be a day I wont forget.
Thankyou for letting me post this. ... i just wanted to let my emotions and feelings be heard. The internet can be a horrid place sometimes.. but then again some of the best things come out of it!!

Hi Marsha,
I too feel very strongly about our friendship, when I need you you are always there yes we get mad at each other but we always look past that and talk anyways, we talk everyday and that has helped me with my depression. you and I have become sisters and best friends no one could ever replace you. This last attempt you were the 1st one I called to tell you that I loved ya and that I was going to miss you, lol Ray ( dh ) was the last one. Sometimes Ray and Nikki gets jealous of me talking to you all the time but you are the only one that I can really talk to and be totally open and honest with. When we 1st met I thought it was strange to become friends with a computer but I soon found out that it was so much more then that sis, the 1st time we drove up to see you ( 9 hours away ) with a 11 month old baby I knew that this friendship was something a lot more, and I knew that I had to keep it that way.
No matter how many times a day we talk we still have something to say rather we are cleaning house together on the phone or playing games. You were there for me when I lost my g-ma and even tho it has been almost 2 years now you still know how hard it is for me. Just wanted to say I love ya sis and no matter how many times you get angry with me I know you will forgive me and I forgive you we can never stay angry with each other longer then 3 hrs, lol.

Not to steal your thread guys...but I met my only TRUE best friends on the IV boards too...LOL! IV brings a lot of people together!
The last 5 years of my life have been a true test of my endurance...so not going into details here. But, through the Bipolar board mostly, I met the women that saved my life over and over. I don't take friendship lightly, as I've lost my IRL so called friends to my illness. We do the same thing...we talk on the phone, while cooking, cleaning...we test message through cell phones constantly!!! we talk on IM all the time...its awesome. I will meet one of them in person this weekend, for the first time. She lives about 4-5 hours away here in FLA. I can't wait!
But my true friends. My life long, forever friends...are the ones I met through IV.
Thank you I-Village.
