My dear friend Mary called a while ago. It seems she's called several times while I was out and Dad forgot to tell me. She's been going through some tough family problems and was depressed.
So she asked, "Sherrie, tell me one of your funny stories. I really need a laugh."
To be honest, I really didn't feel like talking for long. I'm starting to feel really tired and just want to finish my work and get home. But what can I say! There have been times when I needed to cry on Mary's shoulder.
"What do you want to hear? I don't have any new stories." Before she could ask, I said, "And NO TEXAS story."
"Damn, that's the best one. Ok...how about a blind date story?"
"Hmmm... I'll let you chose between the squid eating dilemma, the alien demi-god guy or the conspiracy theory loser."
"Decisons! Let's go with the Squid."
I knew as I told the story that I would cut it short and talk to her about the heart of her depression. And in the end...let her tease me about Texas, because that's what friends are for.
