My Bestie

She would do anything for anyone even if it means being away from her hubby for a month to drive you across the country and get stuck in the ghetto in the middle of the worst blizzard, then trek two miles with snow up to her knees to carry your laundry to the laundry mat.

She would hold your hand through the worst, even if it is through a 14 hour labor and delivery. Then she would love your kids seriously as if they were her own, and buy a webcam just to see them.

She would deal with your raging hormones as they are leaving your system, meanwhile cleaning the house and taking care of your child so you could rest with your newborn.

She would understand your weirdness as you tell her things like her eyes are too close together or she has a neanderthal head. She would love you for your weirdness.

She would always tell the truth when you ask her if you look fat, and understand that she tells the truth out of love.

She would come over just to kill a very large strange looking bug that you couldn't dare get near.

She would jump in a freezing cold pool with her work clothes on just to save your cute little white poodle who fell into the pool and almost drowned while you sit there freaking out not knowing what to do.

She would drive you around everywhere in high school when you blow a gasket in your car for not putting water in it and fixing it would cost more than the 90' Honda Accord is even worth.

She would comfort you and assure you that life does go on when your heart is broken and assure you that you were too good for him anyway.

She would be sure to tell you when you found the right one and list all the reasons why.....all the time!

She would be excited for your big day and the best maid of honor one could ask for.

She is the first to know even before your hubby when you're prego (which, btw, is a good indicator if you were ever wondering where you are at on some one's friend list) just so she can help you find a clever way to tell him.

She would make you laugh with her morbid jokes about being buried next to each other.

She will comfort you when you start out watching a tear jerkier together, she falls asleep and wakes up to you crying.

She would make you feel super special on each birthday even embarrassing you with writing on her car window, "Honk for the birthday girl" as she drives you around doing special birthday activities.

She would remind you often of the reason why you and her won "best friends" in high school.

She is an incredible example of love and service.

"She" is my best friend Stephanie more like sister really, and I feel blessed to know her. Happy Birthday Stephed! It was fun reminiscing on our past 12 years of friendship, we have had some great memories, look forward to many more!
