My best friend

Today I write of my best friend,a beautiful woman with an amazing soul. I don’t know where to start so I will just wing it.People talk about fights they have with their sisters and I have always wondered what that’s like.Then she walked in to my life and nothing has ever been the same.One year I was going through things alone like a loner and this year I have shoulders to lean on.She is here when I need her,shows up when it trully matters and I can’t begin to explain how much that means the world to me.The kind of effort it takes to maintain adult friendships is a lot and for us to have come this far is amazing.I don’t remember how it started but I trully love how it’s going.We drive each other crazy sometimes and yet we grow everyday together.
My daughter loves her more than anything I have seen.She is an amazing auntie with an amazing personality.The other day I was in my room on a phone call and I could hear them talking.The laughter,the joy,the whispers when they talk about me is pure bliss.I am grateful that I have me a person that is intentional about being my friend.
I know that I can be a piece of work but she never gives up.For a person that has so many walls built-in to protect me I know that she is worth every single wall I have taken down.
A big sister,a beautiful soul ,a wonderful daughter and my best friend,Joy .Just like her beautiful name she really brings so much joy to my life.
I love you,I am grateful that I get to do life with you and every day I realize God trully knows what we need.I never knew what was missing,but I know now that this was missing. Now I know what it means to have someone that loves you for you for exactly who you are. Thank you for being my friend,I hope I am to you, half the friend you are to me,today and everyday.
