My Girl
There are days when I think I will be alone for the rest of my life. And not in the sense of having a significant other, I mean truly alone with no one in the world (including my own family members) that understand you. And then there are days when you’re flat proven wrong. Monday was one of those days.
My best friend since childhood sent me the most amazing card and though I know she may never read this blog, it’s about send the love I will always have for her out into the universe.
The card read:
I just have to laugh when I think of some of the crazy things we’ve done together – and they wouldn’t have been half the fun with anyone else but you. I wouldn’t trade even one of those memories for anything in the world, because they’re so much a part of my life…and so are you. Happy Birthday
Her Note:
Happy Birthday Elly!
We truly have had some crazy times together…and none of those times would have been fun without! (Motorcycle riding in the rain and mud as children, tormenting our siblings, almost missing my plane in Chicago…) We had a lot of fun together as children and I thank you for all those memories. The happiness of childhood can be so easily forgotten sometimes, but when I’m with you, you remind me of all those blissful times before the world because so messy. You are my link to the past and my best friend for the future. So here’s to you and your birthday (me toasting you from Utah) and me sending you a wish that we will spend another 31 years together.
Happy Birthday and lot’s of love,
Sara
I’m known for giving cards, for any and all occasions that are not serious. I don’t take life too seriously. It’s a problem for some, I know but honestly, the only way I’ve ever gotten through some truly rotten times was through the power of laughter. So it is a rare occasion, when someone gives me a serious card that I give full value to. There’s only been one other time in my life, when my mother and father know I was having a rather rough time of it at that point of my life and of all days, Valentine’s Day. They found, by some small miracle, the perfect card to let me know that no matter what I did, who I became or where I went, they’d always love me.
This is the second time. Both cards I’ll keep, the words I’ll always know because with all their hearts, my parents then and my best friend Sara know and believe this. So…this blog is dedicated to my girl, whom I’ll have another 31 years with, no matter what I do, who I become of where I go. I love you Sara.
