Okay, I just want to warn you that this is a little smarmy, but I wanted to write a bit about a good friend of mine today. You may have read my post about blessings. If so, this person is one of my blessings. She deserves a little time in the spotlight. Although, if she knew I was writing this she wouldn’t like it much. So we aren’t going to tell her until it is already posted, right?

We have been friends for about 18 years now. The time seems to fly when you’re having fun. Well, it hasn’t always been fun, but that’s the way life is. Even though life has been pretty tough sometimes, we have still remained friends even when the roller coaster was making that horrible ratcheting noise up the hills. I’d like to tell you why.

This woman is one of the most selfless people I know. I have known her to care for the dying, loan money and never be paid back, help people move, help lay tile in a friend’s kitchen, answer calls in the middle of the night from friends who just lost a loved one and didn’t know what to do, give generous gifts, cry with people, defend loved ones like a pit bull, and all while suffering absolutely devastating life events herself. She’s just the type of person you want in your corner. She’s pretty funny too.

I know that I can always depend on her to be there when I need her. I hope she can say the same about me. She’s just one of the best people I know and I wanted to make sure she knows it.

It may seem a little childish to talk about best friends when you get to be my age, but she really is my best friend.
