I was born to lend a hand, or butt in, depending on one's perspective. Part of it is being observant and aware of life and others' lives around us. Some people are blind in that respect. I never ask myself " why do something?" I always ask "Why wouldn't I?"

Good for you for being such a great friend - and you ARE family, just not in the same way that is being assumed. But I have to say....even if they're making the wrong assumption, it's not really judgmental, is it? Is this being said in a mean way? At least they're assuming that you're a family unit...

Great post, as usual.

2009-07-11T07:51:31.102-07:00

Joanna, now you did it! You made me cry just like Barbara Walters does to her guest. The labeling hits a cord in my heart and makes me so sad and yet sad for the people that freely label others because they are different from them.
As I'm sure like others, the stories I could share about my labels. Instead of being weighted down with a chip on my shoulder I have choosen to get back up brush the dirt off my knees and find my way to embrace the same person that brought me to my knees. A hard task, but I know in my heart I don't want to become a woman with a bitter heart.

I'm sure this is why I reach out to help others that have fallen to their knees I know what it feels like to be there.

A wonderful post my friend!! You keep doing what you do best and be a great BFF!! I'm sure in time you will think of something witty to say.

Have a golden weekend! xoxo

Joanna, how do I bring you chocolate?

2009-07-10T20:20:00.158-07:00

Great post. I might suggest that the reason there is an assumption of a partner relationship exists between you and your BFF is because of the compassion and love you have for one another and the ease at which you work together to take care of the Cool Kid. That is rare among couples, let alone BFF's.

You're unique, and even though you're not in love with each other, you obviously dearly love each other. It's beautiful.

Their assumption is, to me, more of a nod of admiration.

Course, I'm not there, so what the flip to I know? :)

As far as a great comeback if the doc/nurse/whatever is a man, embrace enthusiastically, turn to him and say in unison with delicious smiles, "You wanna join us?" He will never say another word and will be so distracted you might be able to steal his stethoscope and give it to the Cool Kid.

Just a thought.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I appreciate the company.

Have a splendid weekend.

Wow, this is a fantastic post! How is it that I have never been here before? I will definitely be back!

Glad you have such a strong village, it's something I am still working on in my life.

2009-07-10T16:35:45.989-07:00

I have a similar situation with my employer. She is a single mother of two small children. I often take them to the dr without her or other appointment. People assume I'm her partner instead of her office manager. Yeah, my job included a lot of outside the office tasks. *sigh*

BTW,your friend is blessed to have a friend like you in her life.

2009-07-10T15:40:42.189-07:00

beneath all of this is a beautiful picture of community. the thing is most people don't have it now. their village has shrank, so it is inconcievable that some actually have a BFF, rather than 682 random acquaitances, posing as FB friends. sad really.

but i guess i can get rather judgemental as well. more love. more power. have a great weekend!

2009-07-10T11:05:24.454-07:00

We're all judgemental, even though we don't mean to be. In the past couple of years I've caught myself on a few occasions and chastised myself afterwards. I try not to judge, but sometimes it just slips back in.
As for MJ, I'm with you, I'm tired of hearing about it. I didn't watch the memorial either, although I caught some of the highlights that evening as it was almost impossible to get away from. I got teary-eyed listening to the daughter.
I have mixed emotions about the whole big production. On one hand, all the visitors to L.A. created a lot of revenue at hotels, restaurants, cabs, airlines, etc., on the other hand, the city govt was griping about who was going to pay for their million+ $ expense. Part of me feels they should present the Jackson family with the bill.

I just feel sad at how judgemental we have all become.
Why is that?

2009-07-10T03:23:37.973-07:00

Jeez, finally I'm able to comment after 3 wks of not being able to!

Actually now that I think of it, there are many who won't be happy about that....

2009-07-09T22:24:38.654-07:00

I'm really at a loss to understand this! I guess its probably becoz we never had a concept of a nuclear family till just recently so I could always count on going anywhere with some one who was not necessarily my husband!
Some people are just odd.

2009-07-09T22:21:50.497-07:00

Hi everyone! Thanks for commenting. I admit, I was a little nervous about posting this because people seem to have very strong opinions about MJ-- And I didn't want to offend anyone with the gay couple comment.

I feel really lucky to have such a great "village" of friends and family. And I'm thrilled to be making new blog friends in my "village" too. Thanks a million for all your support.

Thanks for joining me today. I really appreciate it.

Keep those cards and letters coming! xo

Joanna, I'm not going to get wordy with you, because there's nothing to add. I loved this post, and agree that a support system is essential. xo

2009-07-09T21:38:37.433-07:00

Wow! Good post. Love your honesty. We're all guilty of being judgemental in so many aspects. I know I am. Working hard every day to self-improve.

2009-07-09T19:45:52.228-07:00

Sadly, my village is not what it used to be. Moving out of Utah and away from my village has been hard at times. But Brandon and I are running a good village here all by ourselves.

I loved this post. I wish you lived you closer to me.

2009-07-09T18:59:36.281-07:00

I sent this to a friend of mine because she has a best friend who is like a second Mom to her kids. My friend and her husband feel blessed to have a best friend who is just another member of the family. Someone made a comment believing the friends were partners. We all got a good laugh about it.

The reality is that we should all be so lucky to have such a friend.

2009-07-09T17:29:16.422-07:00

I wish it still took a village- these days it seems like if you're not getting anything out of it people don't think you should be putting any effort into anything. I blame the media, as it seems selfishness is more marketable than altruism.

Oh. My. Freaking. God. Joanna, you are so amazing...

2009-07-09T16:34:18.099-07:00

Oh. My. Freaking. God.

Joanna, you are so amazing. I want to be your family. I want you to call me up on the phone for a girl day. I want to be your lesbian lover (well, you know what I mean - in the utmost platonic way).

Yes. We are a silly culture. We put labels on everything. We judge. We castigate. We rule from our lofty posts. And then we get slapped in the face when emotions take precedence over our superiority. I went through the SAME thing regarding MJ. I posted an awful piece about him just after his death (replete with ghoulish mask photo), But by Tuesday, the worm had turned. I was put in my place. I guess what I'm saying is that you can regret a lot of things in life that you do wrong (whether it's based on bias, prejudice, conjecture, ignorance, etc.) - but you NEVER regret kindness, tolerance, and understanding. My sisters give me grief a lot for being too soft. I mean, honestly, what self-respecting far right Christian conservative would stoop so low as to give Michael Jackson a break? Well, in the grand scheme of things, we all could use a break. Whatever he was, whatever his sins... in the end, MJ was just a man who also did great works, was the greatest philanthropist for global causes, and suffered unimaginable dysfunction. Self inflicted or not, I stand with you and say, love your fellow brothers and sisters. Be charitable. Help when you can.

You will never regret love.

2009-07-09T16:32:02.828-07:00

I wouldn't see it that way, having a best friend who would help you in this way is a wonderful thing but it is hard not to be label in some way sometimes, I would ignore like you

thanks for your visit to my blogs, I really appreciates it & I hope you are having a lovely day

2009-07-09T16:02:59.035-07:00

today's post made me laugh a couple of times then feel tearful remembering MJ's memorial. You're a great BFF. I think in big cities we've lost that small town community feel where people know and help each other and there is a move to bring it back along with the greening of our environment.

2009-07-09T15:15:25.719-07:00

Toni - dumbfounded that no-one offered any assistance, that IS sad and definitely shows that others are either too busy being judgemental, frightened (of what?), or simply not bothered.

2009-07-09T15:07:33.092-07:00

You are a wonderful BFF for your BFF. The lesbian label, I agree - WTF? Goes to show that many of us are judgemental. I have been judgemental on many occasions, however, life has a wonderful way of giving us all a universal 'slap' every now and then and knocking some sensibility into us. Gulp. Sorry.
