This has been quite a long week. I won’t go into details, but suffice it to say that since our business is growing at a nice 30% per quarter clip, we cannot train and hire people fast enough, which means that we have more than our fair share of disgruntled customers.

But, more importantly, a number of my friends have been running into trouble. Now, that is simply life, but to show how amazing my friends are, they never even chose to open up about their situations. They were happy to be friends, and to keep talking about life. They didn’t want anything from me, nor did they expect me to react in any way.

I am flabbergasted that I am just now hearing about a months-old issue from one of my most amazing friends. When I asked why she didn’t share earlier, she said she didn’t want to burden me. I wanted to yell at her, but that was so amazingly kind. She cared enough about me to hold back her most difficult thoughts and situations… a kind of compassion and care doesn’t come along so often.

I do have some amazing friends, though I hope in the future, they will let me know ASAP when bad things happen!
