A Wonderful Blessing

A tear blazes a trail down my cheek falling onto the letter that I hold in my hand. A letter that showed up unexpectedly from a wonderful friend.

Have you ever had one of those friends that you swear you could not live without? A friend who supports you when the world is against you. A friend that celebrates victories with you. A friend that tells it like it is and make you open your eyes to new possibilities. A friend who turns your dream into her dream. A friend who is not afraid to stand next to you when the rest of the world looks the other way in your darkest hour. A friend who tolerates your silliest moods. A friend that pulls you out of your darkest mood cheering you up when you swore it would be impossible.

I have a friend like that. I don't know if she fully understands what she means to me. She came into my life when I was walking through one of my toughest lows. She listened to me, offered advise, and then supplied a shoulder for me to cry on. On more than one occasion she has been the one to pull me back from the edge as I headed towards emotional meltdown.

She helped open my eyes to a dream. She believed in me when I doubted myself and any talents that I have. She took time out of her busy life to create a playground for me to showcase my work. She helps a dunce like me who can't seem to understand hotmail code when so many others demand her attention. She allowed me to open up and be myself.

Our relationship is unique. I will without a doubt tell you that she is one of my best friends. I believe I will one day follow this up with a sequel telling how our children are the best of friends, our dreams that became a reality will be here for you to see.
