Good friends are hard to find and one Colorado woman is not taking that for granted. “Northern Colorado Moms Blog” shared an emotional Facebook post last week thanking two of her friends for driving over 30 miles to visit during her time of need — and it has gone viral.

The blog shared a black and white image of two women in a kitchen, one who looks like she’s cleaning the dishes and the other looking at a cellphone. The post defined the meaning of “on the way friends” as the people who will simply be there for you when life gets rocky.

The woman stated that, “I originally published the post with full intention of remaining anonymous,” she began. “My name is Kim, and these beautiful women pictured below are my #OnTheWayFriends. The ones getting me through, and often times carrying me down this rough road.”

Kim Adams detailed that she first connected with many of her “on the way friends” through the Facebook group, and urged anyone feeling lonely to get involved with groups in their community or area.

Adams started by saying,”This is what friendship looks like,” She said, “I am currently walking through the hardest season of my life, and as Mamas we feel like we’ve always gotta put on our big girl pants and just muscle through … If there’s one thing this season has taught me, it’s that that sort of lie is terribly dangerous to believe.”

This is what friendship can do ??Wow. Something beautiful is happening here. What an incredible response to such a…

She wrote, “I needed my people today. I thought I just needed to call them up and cry about what was happening, and then while on the phone, my sweet friend asked me such an important question,” the writer shared with the Facebook audience of 10,000 followers.

Adding that, “She asked me to just say what I needed and wanted most. I told her that I didn’t want to be alone. Her response — ‘I’m on my way.'” She said, “I started in with all of the reasons she couldn’t and shouldn’t come,” the woman said, citing her messy home and the trouble of driving all the way there. “Her response – ‘Sister, I don’t care about any of that. You said you don’t want to be alone, so I’m coming.'”

“They walked into my house, gave me the biggest hugs, and asked ‘What can we do?'” she went on. “My disaster of a house? They helped me clean it, and assured me it wasn’t that bad. They let me cry, they made me laugh, we listened to music, and most importantly…I. Wasn’t. Alone.”

The “Northern Colorado Moms Blog” post has since gone viral with more than 106,000 shares and over 33,000 comments.

According to Good Morning America, Adams said that the “rough season” she alluded to in her initial post includes being a newly single parent after divorce, and that the days spent without her son are “really difficult.”

She said, “Sisters, every one of those lonely comments has broken my heart over the last couple of days. Because I know that feeling all too well,” she said. “I want you to know that it doesn’t have to stay that way.”

“The act of just showing up is really all that we need. Whether a text checking-in, a FaceTime call, or literally telling someone ‘I’m on my way,’ and driving over to their house, we could do a lot more showing up for one another,” Adams said.
