A NEW FRIEND

I wonder how many of us have a best friend who knows everything about you including the spanking parts. Do they know that you blog? Or do they know that you have online friends? Do you tell them the truth when they wonder why you are having a difficult time sitting down? Or do they ever comment about how strict your husband is and you just laugh to yourself thinking, "you have no idea". If you have a friend that knows it all, consider yourself lucky.

I don't have an everyday friend like that. Which would not usually bother me because I am a rather private person. I don't usually discuss much of my personal relationship about my husband with my friends. We may laugh about men in general or I might share something nice that he did. But that is about it.

And then I met a friend. I met her on the LDD network. And it is wierd that we bacame friends but I would have to say that there is a reason that we met. Both of our husbands were pretty adament about talking to others from the DD community except on the computer. No sharing personal information, no texting, no nothing. And yet both of our husbands agreed to let us text. And then the phone calls began. And I found that I had a best friend in her.

The amazing part is though we have never met in person, she has become an everyday friend. We talk or text throughout yhe day. My children think of her as my friend and as someone who cares about them. They ask about her and they give me messages to share with her. And in return, I have gotten to know through text some her husband and those closest to her. One would almost think that we lived close by. Yet we live on two different sides of the United States.

Our lives are totally different and we probably never would have met if it wasn't for cyber space. I am older (by about 14 years), I am a mom who stays at home, and she is an amazing force in her field of work. And I have never been to her town and she mine.

 I now have this friend who knows more about me than any of my everyday friends. She knows me better than my sisters and we share this world that is different then others. She can make me laugh when I am down and she can point out the good in the bad and she has so much love to share that I feel totally blessed. It is nice to say that it was a "good or productive" spanking without having to explain what you mean.


There have been some good and some bad things that have happened to each of us before and after we have met. I find her to be one of the strongest of people I know. She doesn't see what I see. Her perspective on things are not always the same as mine. But I know that if I ever had to experience something hard, I would hope to be as tough as she. I know that she is human and there are some cracks in the armor. Thats what she would rather hide. She hates to ask for help and she doesn't like people worrying about her. Yet to know her is to love her. And when you love, you worry because that person has a part of your heart. It is not a worry that she won't succeed or won't be able to finish, it is a worry that there will be tough times and bad things that happen. I don't worry that she won't come out ahead, she will.

Thank you for being my friend.
