I miss you...

I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

There are some very good things about moving around a lot... basically we were lucky enough to meet some wonderful people who we now call friends, the bad thing about moving a lot is that we have to leave friends behind when we go.

Today I've been thinking a lot about my friends and different experiences I've had with each of you. I thought I'd make a list of some of my favorite memories and hope that they bring those of you who were part of these memories some joy.

~ Cruising in the 'honey bag'.

~ Road trips.

~ Endless hours spent in Denny's.

~ Laughing about crazy things like fuzzy plum, one eye, 'You better be careful, Santa's watching you!', and big mama :)

~ Killing time waiting for the Usk ferry.

~ Skinny dipping at Lost Lake.

~ Getting kicked out of classes for skipping way too much.

~ Hanging out with 'just the 4 of us' :)

~ Laughing, crying and yelling about boys.

There are so many but the list is getting too long.

I am truly humbled thinking about all of you that I am lucky enough to call 'friend'. Thank you for your love and friendship. Thanks for knowing me and loving me anyway. Thanks for keeping secrets. Thanks for sharing yours.

My heart misses every one of you.

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.
