I met Sandi when we were six years old and starting first grade. Over the past 30 years we’ve been through good times, bad times, and every single time in-between. Loyally, constantly she has been a person that I could count on to listen, really listen, and care when it seemed no one else did. As the years continue to roll by we don’t see each other as often as we would like, but I know she is always there for me.
So to the part that blows me away. Ever since I was pregnant I have gotten countless boxes of presents from Sandi. Now, keep in mind, we never sent birthday or Christmas presents before, so this isn’t something that’s always happened. For some reason, Sandi has been this continual fountain of generosity when it comes to Avery and I. Boxes and boxes of presents. Each gift inside hand chosen and collected by someone who loves me and my little peanut constantly and unconditionally. Someone who thinks of us when she stops by a store and grabs a little treat. And when I open the box from her it always smells like her house, familiar and cozy and filled with memories.
So, to say a big THANK YOU to my best, longest, most generous girl!
How fabulous that you are keeping this chronicle for your beautiful little girl!
And how fabulous that you–and Avery too–have such a wonderful friend.
