My biological Family is small. I am an only child, I have no children of my own, and my extended family (well, the ones we speak with anyway) live hours upon hours away. Holidays end up being my parents, my aunt and me. It's not that I don't like it this way, it just dictates how I feel and act with other people in my life, in particular my close friends. Friendships often mean more to me than what would be deemed normal. Take my best friend for instance - I have known her next to 20 years now and she is essentially my sister. She even calls my mother "Mom!" Occasionally this can backfire on me, hurting me deeper than it should, but I've come to find that it is probably one of the best decisions I've made.
The person I've leaned on the most in the past five years has got to be the BeeJ. Our close friendship didn't end when our year and a half relationship did three years ago. We've lived together almost this entire time, only parting ways when I recently bought my House. In that time, we created our own little family, including our cat Boots - a bond that isn't easily broken, no matter how hard we make it for each other. He's just always there.
So on Monday, when I had a rough day, and no one was at my new home to console me, and even though he was on vacation in a secluded house hours away, I called him. And he answered because it was me.
I miss my Jesus.
