My best friend...Erin

This dear person has stood beside me through so much crap and still loves me greater than any non-family person ever has!

I nearly pushed her away, well, I actually did when I was married. She didn't approve of what my marriage was doing to me, and I couldn't walk away from it, yet. I blocked my friendship with her. She NEVER encouraged me to leave my marriage, NEVER, but she was outspoken toward the effects it was having on me as a person and as a mother.

I went nearly a year without talking to her. She popped back in my life all of a sudden in the middle of Publix. No, not in person...on the phone. She called out of the blue and asked what was going on in my life. I told her that I filed for divorce and she screamed! Yes, loud enough for people at the other end of China to hear, and did. She wasn't happy about the divorce, but was happy about the new life ahead of me.

She has been my support and soundboard through all of this. She understands me and even when she doesn't she makes me laugh hard enough so that I forget the problem.

If we aren't laughing then I am crying and she is making me laugh so I don't cry.

Thank God she is my friend...I adore her and am blessed and better off just for knowing her. She is the bestest best friend a gal like me could ever have!
