Happy birthday to one of the best friends I have ever had. I'll never forget how our friendship grew years ago out of a need to fill our time and not be home alone while the guys traveled. You have been a solid rock for me, you've talked me down off of many a ledge, you've made me laugh until I cried and then laughed some more, you've loved my family as your own, you've spoken truth into my life and you've made me a better wife and mother. I look to you for advice, encouragement, and humor. I cannot imagine what my life would be life if I were walking this journey without you beside me. Thank you for being exactly who God created you to be. Thank you for being a friend.
Maybe I'll break out in to a MWS song shortly or better yet, the theme song from the Golden Girls. I'll call you with that rendition later.
Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
(or woman for that matter.)
