Without even knowing ,  I hurt someone I loved  ~  a very dear friend who is very close and important to me ... 

Actually , the whole episode made me realize that I was neglecting him and like good friends do  ~  he called me up on it.

It's always a bit awkward when friends point out something that you did that hurt them. It has never happened to me in the past. I told him I was sorry and instead of promising that it would never happen in the future, I would try my best not to do it again  ~  In fact, the truth is I cannot promise not to hurt loved ones  ~  That is part of the gamble of love / frdship  ~  being hurt and hurting others.

Honestly, I have to give a lot of credit to him ~ Instead of being like me who passively aggressively deals with hurt feelings, he actually told me straight to my face  ~  And he did the right thing!!!!

I hope it didn't do any permanent damage to our friendship but would grow stronger instead  ~  I can really trust his opinion ~ he’s not juz one of those “yes madame” type of frds  ~  The ones that tell you what you wanna hear.

And he also knows that he can tell me ANYTHING  ~  and I'm all ready to hear it ......
