I am not sure what I did to deserve such nice friends, because really I am not the nicest person. In fact the whole extreme insecurity issues I dealt with growing up really never let me fully develop any real friendships. But they must like me dragging them to thrift stores and watching me kiss my dog all day because they left their gaggle of kids for 4 days to make the trek from Northern CA to Southern CA to come celebrate my 40th birthday with me.
They spoiled me with gifts that were so thoughtful it still makes my heart hurt in the best way possible. They cleaned my house, gave me massages, played board games with me, lavished attention on my kids, and wouldn't let me do any of the cooking. Seriously?!?!
I have no choice but to get a little sappy here and say I love these two so much. I love them for having patience with me when I had so many lessons to learn. For going about their lives being such wonderful examples. For somehow making me feel like I am completely awesome.
I am still learning what it means to be a friend. To listen & have patience. To sacrifice & serve. To show love and devotion. To embrace with your whole heart.
Thank you for everything. Most of all for helping me become the person I want to be.
