I love my friends. The way I try show that I love them is to be a committed friend. I try showing the same commitment that my friends show me. However, at times I do not know how to show to my friends that I am committed. So many times I wish there was just one thing I could say that would bring them comfort through trials. If there is one thing I have learned and continue to learn through the trials my friendships have been through it is that, at times, it is better to say nothing at all. I recently heard some devastating news from a very close friend. I was shocked and did not know what to say. I wished there was something I could have said that would bring them some sort of comfort. This was not the case. I was speechless, but perhaps that wasn’t a bad thing. I hung out with my friend that whole evening. I didn’t make it home until 2 in the morning. Despite my friends very shitty happenings we had a fun time. We laughed and joked.
Though I did not have any wise words for my friend, I hope he knows him and my family are in my prayers. And through our times of laughter and joking I hope he sees me as a committed friend.
I hope to be the best friend I can to ALL my friends.
Shine on, friends.

You are the best, Jesse.
Jesse I have been feeling the same way lately. I think you are right. Just being there might be enough. who honestly does know the right words in tragic situations where the question "why?" is not answered. Keep loving with your whole heart Jesse. That's all that really matters.
