Guilty by association?

Hi everyone, When I was in school, my friends had some other girls that for one reason or another they didn't like very much and apparently the feeling was mutual. There were some in there group that were just looked down on just because of who they picked for friends. Anyway when my mother died, this one girl that was hanging out with this other group wrote a long letter about how sorry she was that I had to go through this and an offer that if there was anything she could do to help, just ask. I really appreciated the letter and the offer but at the time I was pushing all of my friends away and I pretty much just stopped caring about anything. I got into some trouble with the law and drugs but my aunt and uncle did there best to keep me out of to much trouble. Anyway, fast forward a year and a half when I was giving birth to a daughter that I had already signed away to adoption, I was in the hospital after giving birth(as luck would have it), she turned out to be a nurses aide on the maternity ward at the hospital I was at and she spent a lot of time with me when I was there. When I got out all of a sudden she became my best friend and really helped me get my life back together. Before this it was quite a while since I knew what a real friend was and still is my best friend to this day. A few days ago I asked her why she went through so much trouble to be my friend when we really never even knew each other in school and all she would tell me was that god told her that I needed her. I don't write very many discussions here but I really felt the need to pay a tribute to a very special person that saved my life when I didn't really care to live. I gave this discussion this title because when we were in high school, I really didn't care for her because of who her friends were and that was a very big mistake on my part. I will never judge anyone like that again. I love you Charlette!!! So, have you ever befriended someone from a rival group? If so, did you become good friends? Hugs, Tianna
