Credits, kudos and stuff
I'm in a rather melancholy mood considering all the bodily stress I'm enduring at the moment, and have turned to contemplation as a way to avoid the physical issues for a while.
So, I thought I'd say thank you to a bright star in my life, my Sara. She has been my best friend for so long I can't remember a time without her. We have cried on each other's shoulders, come to each other's rescue, been there on the other end of the phone for the ups and downs and been separated by thousands of miles during most of it. We met online as devotees of The Pretender when it first aired, and have become virtual conjoined twins since then, even though I'm older and taller than she is. LOL But she has been my rock, my cheerleader, my sympathetic ear. She has dragged me kicking and screaming into fandoms I didn't want to enter and never regretted taking the plunge once I was hip-deep in Shanks-lust and Ed-miration. I traveled on an airplane to help her move, when most folks run the other way and find other stuff to do, but she needed me and I happen to be *good* at moving. We had a great time together even with all the packing and toting and unpacking, and I miss her.
It's amazing the journey we've been on together, which is by far from over. She is the best friend I've ever had, closer to me than my own sister, and therefore, the sister of my heart.
She's going through some difficult times right now, but I wanted to put here for posterity how necessary she is in my life.
She's been way under-credited for all she does for me, but I am always aware of her contributions to my life, and thankful that I have her in it.
There are darn few people I feel this way about, because I keep my heart tucked away from most people. I love them on the surface and do what I can to help, when possible, but hold back when the demands are too great. For Sara, there are no limits. Whatever she needs, whatever I can provide, I will give to her willingly and joyfully.
She's the kind of friend who would help me hide the bodies, if I needed.
She's the one who would be sitting beside me in the jail cell, saying, "Damn, that was fun!" and not the one on the outside bailing me out. She's the prize, along with my husband and children, for living my life, and I'm thankful for her every day.
Hang in there, gal. Good things are coming down the road.
Love you.
