The Bestie

So I am here in a blissful state. Why? Because of all the people I have known there is one person that always makes me feel happy and helps me to forget any problems or lingering sadness I may feel.

My best friend.

She has been there for me more than anyone (other than the obvious family member:)

So this particular blog is dedicated to her.

Thank you my friend.

For all you have always done for me. For all your advice. For all the laughter. For the tears that have become so cathartic. For the times when all hope seemed lost and you came with your bigger than life energy and sparkle. For the rainbows and sprinkles and skittles (lol). For the missions that are never ending and the ones we have yet to go on. For watching TV in your room. For finger licking good moments. For wanna-be lawyers and all their business with their important cases. For parties where we fell in the pool (and the times we fell in for no good reason). For the silly names and hot guys and the not so hot ones lol. For learning what a real friend is. For Shrek and the Umpa Lumpas. For seeing all the losers still in the same place they are still in as we leap over them. For teaching me to use stepping stones in the right way. For every time you called even though you were miles away.

Now and forever I will be grateful to the person you were, you are and who I will have the privilege to know in the future.

You are honorable, inspiring, loyal and a breath of fresh air.

Remember that you are an exquisit woman and anyone who you grant the honor to hold your hand and join their life to you should count themselves lucky to even exist in the same space as you.

Thank you for being you...DE PINGA lol

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts,
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.
