a tribute to some friends. that will probably never read this.

i have them...i know, it's hard to believe. but i do. all over the darn country, in fact. and for all those that i don't see often, i wonder about what they're up to and how they're doing and all that jazz. now, a forewarning- this is going to get sentimental. so here goes.

the great thing about friends that are really true friends is that in the times that you need them most, the times you just can't imagine how you'll keep on going...they just show up. from wherever it is that they were. and there they are. ready to take on whatever you are. to hold you up when you can't barely consider standing.

i feel lucky, fortunate, blessed, if you will, to have people like that in my life. to have friends that treat each other like gold, that drop their lives to keep yours going. i also feel fortunate that i haven't needed that type of support myself. but i have witnessed it through & through...and even lent a strong arm to help keep some standing...but because, geographically, of where i was and am...my efforts will never compare to those that i have in mind.

i guess what i'm trying to say here is this. beck, kris, jul...you define true friendship. and you don't even know it, nor would it effect you if you did. you're always there...from the happiest moments to the absolute lows...and you know exactly what to do to get through them. you love deep and it shows. i love you girls very much. so this is a tribute to you....even though you'll probably never read this...but that's not what matters. you are.
