Dear Em

I said a prayer for you tonight..........

I prayed that you will be a girl who can make friends easily

one who is loyal and honest

and who does not have to get her heart broken by her friends to often

but if it has to happen.......

you will learn from it and know better what you want in future friends

and what kind of friend you need to become.

But when I prayed that prayer

I thought of you in your middle and high school years

knowing that it will take some time to find out who you are and what you need

in your friendships

And then my prayer turned to thoughts of you at my age

and I asked God to give you a handful of friends like I have

friends that will put there life on hold for a few hours

and take the time to surprise you

and share a lovely lunch with you

and tell you it's going to be alright

 and wish you well on your next adventure

friends who will hug you when you are speechless

 just smile 

and need to say nothing

friends...

from all different places in your life

that each fulfill you in their own unique way

whom you love

you can cry to

who love you back

for being 

just who you are

Amen

{thank you Kiley, Whitney, Mandy, Brooke and Jenny}

(missed you Ashley and Kristen)

for such a memorable day

...............at the perfect time!

Love you all

may Em have people fill her like you all fill me!
