To a friend that has been:
My shoulder to cry on.
My voice of reason.
My boost in confidence.
My comic relief.
June 2008, Celebrating our birthdays at Max & Ermas :)
Anna,
I don't think I could ever truly express to you how much your friendship means to me. You welcomed me into your home last year when I couldn't face my own. Even though you have a husband and child to care for, you have always made room for me in your life.
You listened to me sob on your back porch last fall and again a month ago without ever saying "I told you so". You were the friend that helped me bounce back when I first saw her with him, dragging me out and telling me not to let this bring me down (and not caring how many times I played Carrie Underwood on the juke box). You encouraged me to start dating again and didn't criticize me when I played with fire. You giggled right along with me to text messages, glad to see me smiling.
You agreed that now I need to focus on me and I'm not afraid to be without a "special someone" because you're only a 5 minute drive away. Thanks for being my So You Think You Can Dance buddy. A guaranteed spot on your couch every week to feed my obsession. Thank you in advance for spending my birthday with me tomorrow. My first birthday "alone" will go down in the history books as a night filled with so much dancing it made our heads spin.
Some day I hope to be half the mom that you are. You are raising a fantastic little boy with a big personality. His smile has brightened many a day for me lately (and his "WOW"s and "Dude"s). Oh, and by the way, I'm sorry for his new obsession with sunglasses ;)
You are a wonderful friend. Thank you for being there for me when I needed someone the most. I hope you know I would do the same for you in a heartbeat.
I love you girl!
~Michelle
p.s. Wii bowling rematch? 
Christmas 2006, you were pregnant with Drew then! It doesn't seem like that long ago does it?

Awww, Michelle. I know you're going through a lot right now. And I have confidence you're going to bounce back 10x stronger than before. It's good to know you have a really good, buddy, near and dear, to be with you along the way. Yeah for great friends!

She sounds great, and I have a couple of friends who have been good enough to do the same and not say "I told you so" to me. Glad you are feeling a bit better. :)
