Good Friends Are Hard to Find

Tweet

When I first met my friend C, she was just another person at church. We talked once in a while, pleasantries, nothing more. Then one day I had a meltdown. I was so down about the number of people who don't call me or even seem to care that she plain listened and then asked me for my phone number. She called. That was over a year ago. Last year I called her because I didn't know who else to call when I got in the car and the battery was dead and I needed to get it jumped so I could get a new battery. She dropped everything and came over, checked everything out, took care of my fluids and gave me a jump so I could get over to the service center and get a new battery. She called this morning - it was a God connection. As we were talking I mentioned the trouble I've been having with the car and that I'm taking it back to the service center on Sunday. Her significant other is a truck driver and just happened to be home instead of on the road somewhere in the US. They both came over. Assessed the battery problem - said it wasn't the fault of the service center, but the leads are worn and stripped due to our needing to use the wrench on it. He also said it won't cost that much to take care of, so that's good. They also found I had a drop of antifreeze left and went to the store and got some antifreeze and window washer fluid for winter driving. I need to get a quart of oil. So the car is good to go for my son tonight and I should be able to get to church on Sunday without a problem and then over to the service center after to get the car taken care of. Now C&M have a dog who travels all the time with M. She told me about a vet who is half the price of the one I go to. They had used my current vet before. So she's going to get me the name and phone number so I can get a second opinion regarding Pip, and it will most likely not be as costly as what has already been quoted. The vet is half an hour away where my brother and sister in law live, so hey, I might just stop in for a visit and meet their new dog. So that was my awesome day. I also watched a movie recommended by @marcyaz - Beethoven's Christmas Adventure. Awesome. I needed to do something during the time the computer was giving me the time out nod. So I shut it down for a couple hours, let it rest, and now I'm back with all the good news. I never expected she would be a great friend the first time I met her. Good friends are hard to find.
