Dear Ame!
I read your blog this morning, and thought I'd dedicate a blog to you.
I just wanted to tell you, as well as the rest of the world {or at least those that read my blog}, how truly grateful I am for you. You've been exactly the friend I needed to have at church, to help me feel more comfortable and at ease in a new ward, 18 months ago. I've thanked Heavenly Father for placing you in my life. Heaven knows I would have taken off a long time ago and attended a different ward, if I didn't have you to sit with.
I remember the first time we really started talking. It was at the 2011 Christmas party, when I showed up late and the only place to sit was at a table with you and Norma. I surely appreciated your thoughtfulness of not speaking in Spanish, like the majority of the table, that night. I remember how down you were with coming with me to the top of the Hyatt, since it was one of my goals, that month. I thought, "Wow, I don't know this chick, but she's pretty cool if she's more than willing to come with!" I knew then, that that would be the start of a cool friendship.
I'm grateful for the times we've spent together...talking...sitting in church classes....organizing FHE stuff.....just those friendship type of activities that help bring two friends closer. I enjoy our texts and emails about life, guys & frustrations. I value the trust you have in me. Not many friends give me a key to their place. Your empathy towards my family life has been tremendously meaningful. I love you dearly, my dear kind friend. I, for one, am especially grateful for your birthday...because my life has been enriched by your birth...your being and most especially, YOU! Happy {early} birthday!
