My closest friends are miles and states away from me, but we talk everyday through games and Facebook. Some professionals say this in unhealthy, and online friends can never replace real friends, but after a recent catastrophe on Facebook of my family saying I "complain too much" about my pain and I going on a purging spree of those who weren't truly my friends and family members who'll never hear another word from me I realized who my true friends are.
One of them said they got me something for my birthday. I thought it'd be some game item that you pay cash for, usually cheap. I'm like, okay. Well, weeks later a huge box arrived at my door.
What was it?
A wheelchair!
While my community and family dismissed me, my online friends went far and beyond and did what those who should be doing didn't do. My mom gave a away a free chair after I asked for one.
Her reaction to the present? "I made them pity me with all my complaining." Hah. It's a damn good, comfortable, and portable chair that they used amazon gift cards for to get it really cheap. She was extremely annoyed. Said I should send it back. I'm at the point where I've lost all respect for this woman. She has Jackle and Hyde moments. There are times when she brings me IC safe foods in bed, then there are times like those above. I think I broke her bubble of denial. Or perhaps made her feel guilty that it was total strangers (to her) who gave me such a great gift. To you two guys I'm talking about, thanks <3
