| Clearly not our prettiest picture - but the perfect one. |
On Saturday, I met up with my best friend for what was to be
the last time before we moved. She was
back in town for just two days and wanted to meet for breakfast. She just had a grandbaby and so has and will
be out of state helping to take care of her newest grandchild.
It was a laughter filled morning despite beyond busy
schedules and earlier in the day crying jags because of my leaving. We discussed all the normal stuff which was
our lives, food, and anything that will make us laugh.
Despite being old enough to be my mom, Sue has been my best
friend for the past 5 years. Our friendship started a few years before
that with a simple act of service. I
brought her dinner while she was healing from hip surgery. In her post surgical, drug induced state, she
invited me to sit on her bed and keep her company, where I laughed at her lack
of inhibition. To this day, she still
remembers very little of our conversation.
We since then have constantly bonded through our love of
honesty, our laughter at human foibles, and the sheer crazy brilliance of our
spouses, who we adore, but sometimes make us bonkers.
Sue and her husband have a business in our town. Their business is one of the lifeblood’s of
Manheim and they sponsor every team and every club, donating to everyone who
may need it. This isn’t what makes her
so amazing though. Sue is special
because she is one of the most selfless people I know. She takes care of everyone around her
constantly. She is endlessly loyal. She is empathetic and sensitive, kind and
compassionate. She'll be your biggest champion and your greatest friend.
She’s who I call when I need to talk to someone and it helps
that she’s my late night buddy. She
doesn’t sleep much which makes her an ideal companion to my limited sleeping
habits too. More often my random thought
texted to her after midnight is answered within seconds. And just this morning I started getting texts
at 6. I will miss seeing her for lunch
and breakfast anytime we can sneak it into our schedule.
So I’m beyond excited we found one more day and a half mid July to
sneak away together before I move, that we have a loose time frame for her
first visit to Texas
