By A Friend on June 18, 2019 / 124 views

My boyfriend works a typical 8 to 5 job, Monday thru Friday. He's always the first to text good morning because I usually sleep in. I've noticed that everyday that he's at work, at exactly 8:36am, he texts me a sweet good morning message. The first two days that I noticed, I thought it was just coincidence, but then for the next week, it was the same thing at 8:36am. Now I didn't want to just...

I woke up with drool on my pillow this morning. I wouldn't have minded except it wasn't mine. The alarm clock rang, I reached over to turn it off, and then as I laid my face back down on the pillow I felt the wet, slimy drool on my pillow case. I opened my eyes and saw a smiling, panting, furry face gazing down at me. I tried to get up but she was too fast. My face was suddenly covered in kisses with...

Best Friend

By A Friend on June 06, 2019 / 758 views

I just want to say how great friend(s) can be. My child hood friend just called me after 20 years. He moved away in 11th grade. No number, no address, nothing for me to write to. No phone number to get. He was gone. I looked, he looked, finally just by chance my brother went to his job while doing his job. A one in a million chance. I started crying when I heard his voice. I never knew...

Today, a man alone at the restaurant I work at took care of a bill for a party of 17 next to him that was mostly kids and 5 or 6 adults.

I asked if he was ready for the bill after his meal and he said "Can you keep a secret? Give me that tables bill and don’t tell...

I'm 28(M), and for the first time in my adult life I am completely happy and at peace.

So, a couple of weeks ago my family found out that my Uncle has stage four brain cancer. I was very upset with the news as I have lived with him for the past nine years. About a week later, May 12, was my B-DAY and I really didn't want to celebrate it with all that was going on. I just got me some cupcakes and went to my friends house to watch GoT. At some point during the evening, it slipped out that it...

My dad passed away yesterday and I am processing everything. His illness was really terrible for a long time so even though we knew it was coming, I'm still in shock.
