God Has Blessed Me

This is a quick note. But well deserved one. I have had the best friends of all my life in my corner. Cheering, laughing, shouting obscenities, rah rahing, hissing, encouraging, defending, consoling, and holding me. Though I have really great and best of friends for other places I've lived. These three women have bound themselves to me in such a way I'll never get rid of them. These are the women that you brag you left the hospital in your pre-pregnancy jeans zipped fully up only to hear the other end hang up on you ... but still call back to laugh again. These are the women you show up at their house w/o a bra on at 11 pm with buckets of ice cream to cry with. These are the women you bring your screaming sick kids to and they'll clean you and them up and send you home with dinner. But right now these are the women that are going to the ends of the earth for me while holding my hand to help me stay standing on my own two feet as the ground comes out from underneath me. And they'll be the women to shove me in the right direction and never say a thing about how "bad" I was until I can see through the tears and laugh at it all. And that's when they'll tell me I that I really should let those poor poor pants I'm wearing just die already, because my butt is just too big for them. After all it's not the pants' fault at all.

I love you girls. I'm so blessed God has given me you all.

*shouted* YA YA!!!
