”A friend is a hand that is always holding yours, no matter how close or far apart you may be. A friend is always there and will always care. A friend is feeling forever in your heart."

I loved her from the moment I met her. I think we were 18 or 19, we both worked as waitresses at a local restaurant. There was just a connection, the kind of connection you cant explain. She had a fun personality I wanted to be around. She made me laugh until my belly hurt. We spent 5 years working together, joking and sharing secrets. We became best friends, there is nothing in the world I would give up for this kind of friendship. Though our lives are totally different, she is a wonderful mother of 5 beautiful children, I have devoted my life to my art and work, it doesn't matter, 14+ years later and we still laugh like teenagers, the connection is still there. She gives it to me straight, even when I don't want to hear it, she encourages me and inspires me. She has always been there for me and I appreciate her more than she knows. Her heart is so kind and full of love. I know am a very lucky girl to have a friend like her in my life.
