What are friends for?

What do you do when one of your friends are sick? Soup! That is usually the first thought that comes into people’s minds. It is the perfect remedy for the cold or flu. Something hot and soothing is what most sick people want. It usually brings back the comfort of having your mom take care of you. Chicken noodle soup is one of life’s greatest comfort foods. It is up there with meatloaf and mashed potatoes. There are certain things that remind you of being in the comfort of your childhood bed and having your mom take care of you. For me it was toast and tea, my beautiful and compassionate mom always used to tuck me into bed with a hot cup of tea and two pieces of toast in order to give me something to eat that would settle my stomach. She would always be by my side in order to make sure nothing bad would happen. If I were going to throw up she was always there to hold my hair, and when I cried afterward she would sleep in my room. I know I might sound like a baby but I think we take for granted how nice it is to have your mom by your side. Once you get older you start to depend on your friends. I just found out one of my friends might need a shoulder to lean on and I would love to be there as her pretend mom. Sometimes there are certain things that you don’t want your mom for. In certain circumstances it is easier to talk to your friends. I think all of you who may not have a mom around you know what I am saying. I did not mean to bring anyone down, but it is always nice to know that your friends will always be there for you!
