raloriaI just had to make a special post to celebrate the birthday of a very special person, by best friend. You on my flist know her as GeckoGirl. She's got a LJ now (Yaaaaay!), so I know she'll see this. Allow me to indulge, 'cause I've been friends with this gal for almost 20 years. Yes, 20 years! Can you believe it, girl? :)
How do you thank a person for a life? For simply being there through good times and bad, even though miles apart? I know you like to give me a lot of credit for helping you over the years, but it goes both ways, hun. You've helped me more times than I can count. You've been my cheerleader, my champion, my inspiration, my counselor, my guide. I don't even want to think of what my life would have been without you. When I've given up on myself you've always been there to build me back up, never wavering from your belief in me. For years I used to believe you would just walk away, as so many other friends had done, but you stayed through everything. Even though you reassured me this friendship would stand the test of time, I had been burned so many times, I didn't believe it. I do now. There's no doubt in my mind that we'll be friends, as you've said so many times, when we're old and grey. I admire that you're always challenging yourself, learning new things, with a boldness I myself do not possess. You've made it through so many difficult times and always found a way to triumph over them, becoming stronger on the other side. You listen to my rantings, give me advice, and most of all provide a steady shoulder to lean on. I know you're not going to believe that you deserve any of this praise, but trust me, sweetie, you do! *Hugs* :D
