Some friends come and go and seem to be there for a specific purpose, that once it is fulfilled, fade off. I have had a few friends who have survived it all. For them I will forever be thankful.
Rosalee~ You were the very first person I called after my mom died. And you were there within minutes and you took care of everything. I will love you forever for that and increase your friendship points. You took me with you to Colorado on that hockey trip. We survived the gophers and the squished knees, and you even spent an evening alone with "burped up Italian" so that I could be alone with Teddy for the night. For that I award you more friendship points. You were there for a DI or Formosa run or just a long walk whenever living alone got to be too much for me. For that you are the proud owner of even more friendship points. Think about moving up here. I'm not kidding you, you'll love it!
Linds~ If I talk anymore about you people will think I am a "laser beam." but for knowing what that means, friendship points. Add it to the pile, I'm expecting that you'll cash in some day.
Steph~ For surviving Quiznos together, friendship points. For surviving Lowe's together friendship points. For surviving living together you are gonna need a TON of friendship points. For saying a prayer for me on my door step the night my mom died friendship points. For sharing your mom, your granny, and your adorable Asian cousins, friendship points.
Zac~ I will love you 18 for the rest of my life. For all the closet time you offered, friendship points. For all the times I sat in your office crying while they constantly paged for me overhead, friendship points. For loving me even though you are SOOO much hotter than me, friendship points. For not hating me too much for saying it, friendship points. For understanding me in a way no one else does and loving me anyway, friendship points. Because my baby sister not only likes you but flirts with you, friendship points. For all my 8am wake up calls and pillow talk, friendship points. For all the people watching over a rockstar and potato babies, friendship points. For sabotaging my department after I left, friendship points.
Kristen~ For putting up with so so many crushes and long nights of giggling, including the small crush I had on your brother, friendship points. For letting me take the lead in the play even though I sucked at it, friendship points. For still being in semi-close contact after all these years, friendship points. For being my friend even through the dreaded beehive years, friendship points. For crying harder than I cried when I called you the day mom died, friendship points.
David~ For being one of the strongest people I know, and wanting to have the ability to change my life as dramatically as you have, friendship points. For forgiving me quickly and when I'm not sure I deserve it, friendship points. For appearing out of nowhere, and seeking out our friendship just when I needed you, friendship points.
