Simply Amazing!

I consider myself to have a lot of friends in my life. When I really think about it, I guess I have friends, and then I have FRIENDS.

Friends are the people that you know, maybe you've been to dinner with once or twice, have a little something common with and can call when things are really bad. I have quite a few of them in my life and they mean a lot to me.

On the other hand, there are FRIENDS that I wouldn't trade for the world. These people are the ones that I hold closest to my heart at all times. They are the ones that make a point to call you, actually make dinner plans (not let you get by with "let's get together sometime..."), know when you need a hug and put you before themselves.

Tonight, I got to see a true friend. One that I never want to lose, one that is close to my heart, one that means the world to me, one that is so unselfish she makes me cry, one that I want to be just like. She has an amazing spirit, a heart full of God and an amazing giving attitude.

I know that if she is reading this, she will know who she is, and she deserves to know just how thankful I am that she is in my life.

Tonight, she proved to me that really great people exist in the world, that there are people who care about others more than they care about themselves and that there will never be words to express my gratitude towards her actions and friendship.

Friend...what you did tonight for our family was so much more than we deserve. We love you and are so thankful you are in our lives. I only hope that one day, I can be the friend to you that you have been to me.
