I Value Good Friends

I went back on EP, first time in years. Another member here said I could download my stories from there since I never deleted my account. I started reading (shocking, I know), and then came the tears. I wanted to share this post with everyone, as a tribute to a girl I met there that changed my life. Literally. I love you Fungirlmmm, and am so grateful for your friendship all these years. Don't know where I would be now if I hadn't met you then.


I Want to Wish You a Happy Friendiversary
My First Ep Friend

Fungirlmmm welcomed me with hugs on the first day my lost self joined ep, Feb 19, 2008. She was my first ep friend and has since become one of my very dearest friends ever.

We started chatting about diet and exercise and she gave me some helpful hints that I, of course, have ignored, but I'm sure would totally work if I tried them more than once...

She was dumped on facebook and that is when our friendship really kicked into high gear. BTW, he is so not worthy of her. I said it then and I will say it again and again... That was the first time of many we cried together and laughed together. It was the first time I heard her lovely voice, and it was the first and only time I apologized for saying **** in a conversation with her. (she has come a long f*cking way with that one, and I am still practicing how to say it with her drawl... )

She saw me through a divorce, pushed and pulled me through it when I needed it, and helped me keep it strapped on when I felt it slipping.

She got me through a really, really hard time (she knows what I'm talking about) and that is one thing I don't think I would have ever survived without her. She let me call her in the middle of the night, first thing in the morning, and when I was at the grocery store, crying my eyes out every time. I wanted to just die. She wouldn't let me. She held me up and smacked me upside the head when I needed it. And let me tell you, there were times I definatly needed it!

When I told her I was losing my job she started sending me huge amounts of websites to look for a new one, and offered to tweak my resume (which I will still take her up on as soon as I put it together).

Now, I know as HeavenBesideYou, I am the one with the wings on most of my avatars, but let me tell you, Fungirlmmm is the true angel. In my real life as well as on ep. I love you FG, you are truly my Bestest!

And the offer is still open if you want to move to Atlanta.

Just saying...

I love you too. You helped me get back on my feet when the cheating f*cker dumped me on FB. I think that people come into our lives for a reason; it is no mistake. You have been there for me just as I have for you and as long as I draw breath I will always answer your texts and your phone calls (except when my mom is around because she drives me crazy trying to talk to me when I am trying to talk to you. You are the best thing I took from EP and my best friend in my real life. You mean the world to me and I love you.

We have laughed and cried together for over 8 years. I have to stop reading the stuff over there, it makes me sad and I miss everyone and what it was so much. I will always be grateful to EP and the people who were there back then. We were quite a crew. I wish I could get to my avatar pictures to save them. Oh well...

Thanks Sylph. I agree true friendship is one of the best things life has to offer. Going back there, though, was depressing. It was a long time ago. My life has changed so much since then. Hugs

Big hugs to both you and FG...

I have some of them saved but I'm having issues retrieving my cloud from the new phone since I broke the old one. You'll have some of them including the patched heart.

Thank you alda

Great to hear about a friendship that blossomed from social media.
There are so many negative things going on, a few positives are good to see.
Congrats.

The two I want is the one still up there and the one with the demon. Do you have those?

She is an awesome friend @Aldnaz

From the little I know if her through her writing, and our communication, she seems awesome. :)
What an amazing story. Fungirlmmm is amazing. I find her compassion and care humbling

Thanks Jagged. EP was an amazing experience, back then. There are a few people I still keep in touch with I met on there years ago. Some of them are here, like Fun and Snowy and Groovy. Fungirlmmm is the reason I came here in the first place. She sent me an engraved invitation. :)

Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F
