My True . . .

A true friend sticks with you through the good times, and the bad times . . . (the tears and the laughs - so many)
A true friend isn't afraid to say what you might not want to hear . . . (step out more - listen to others)
A true friend looks from the inside out and doesn't judge you by a glance . . . (accepted me as me)
A true friend will stick by you even when you take a stance . . . (dealing with grief)
A true friend loves you for who YOU ARE and not what you could be . . . (never once did i have to change ME)
A true friend should be closely cherished because only a few exist . . . (you are one of a kind)

Some one asked me the other day that if i found out i was dying, what would be 3 things i'd like to do before i died those 3 things are :
1. Let my family know how much i love them and appreciate them . . .
2. Make sure they have a understanding of who God is, and how much he loves them . . .
3. Make sure my friends - like you - know how much you've changed my life, how much joy you've brought to me, how much laughter . . .

You've changed my life. There is no other way to put it. Never in my wildest dreams did i ever imagine having a friend like you. A friend, that no matter what i'm dealing with, no matter what i'm going through, stays right by my side. There are soooo many miles keeping us apart, yet you still do everything in your power to make sure i have a smile on my face daily - to me that means everything. God has for sure blessed me soo much with this friendship - leaves me in awe wondering how did i deserve someone as great as you in my life - you don't know the honor it is - really.

True friends are hard to come by, sometimes its like looking for a needle in a haystack, makes you tired, disappointed at times, and after searching for so long, after a while you just want to give up - BUT you don't, and then the moment comes when you actually find the needle and the joy it brings you - joy that really has no words - you are my needle in the haystack - and each and everyday you bring joy to my life - each and everyday you teach me - you are my needle, you are my true, you are my friend.

To the world you may simply be one person, but to one person, you may be the world!!
Thank you for being my true.
