Hello to you

To anyone listening,

Hi Laurie!! I know you are listening! :) This blog is for you.  Thank you for lunch the last couple weeks.  Thank you for reading my blog.  That means more to me than you know.  I know we don't talk much and you are not the best at the phone or texting or responding ;) you have ALWAYS been there for me.  I say that with teary eyes because I know that means that you truly care about me and that isn't easy to find.

When we went to lunch the first time, you kept saying "You said.." or "I heard.." and on my way home I thought... ummm how would she know that.  She must read my blog and yesterday you confirmed it. I was kind of in shock that you took the time to.  Not in a bad way but like whoa, she is so busy and we barely talk but she still does really care.. someone actually cares enough to do that?!  I feel that about anyone who reads it without a selfish reason but because they wonder "How is Debbie doing?"  I don't know who does (well, some I know) and I don't know who doesn't but out of my closest and dearest friends, you are one who does and wow.. thank you.  You cared enough during your insane schedule to keep up with what I was going through and sign up for those notifications.  I have my theories on who doesn't though ;)  which is hurtful but I shouldn't focus on the bad but on the good like the ones who do and really care.  YOU care and it doesn't mean others don't but it sure means something extra special for me.  We might feel like we are worlds apart but you always want to know what is going on with me. That means so much.  You actually care about me when I think no one does.  You did it even when we don't get to talk or see each other.. you did it.  No selfish reason.  Just because of our friendship. I wish you started a blog so I could catch up on you! You know I would too! :)

I think you are one of the strongest people I know.  I have actually said that I think every time someone has asked me who is the strongest person I know.  I have no clue how that comes up lol but I know I have said it.  Thank you for listening to my stories or me ramble and still say you like how I tell my stories.  I think that is hard to find in a person too! lol   It's amazing who shows their true colors in the worst of times. Sometimes it surprises you in a good way and sometimes it disappoints you so badly you can't breathe and sometimes, like with you, I just didn't have a doubt.You also know that I ponder about what I did or said minutes/days/weeks/months/years ago and you usually forget about it before I do. You forgive my mistakes, big or small, and helped them to make us stronger and that to me, is FAMILY.  You don't look at me for who I was but who I am now.  THAT means a LOT to me!! Again, hard to find in someone.

This is going to sound so silly, but I am so proud of you. *patting your head* (j/k about the head part) But I really am proud.  You have accomplished more than most people do and you changed your life around to be happy.  Truly happy.  You have worked hard for where you are and continue to.  You have a drive I could only wish for.

I love how we can talk for hours, even when we talked too long at Blufish.. whoops..  sorry staff!  I did cheat on my diet for the cheesecake yesterday and I definitely wouldn't do that for anyone else right now.  Ok, maybe Lou Malnati's...but it was a mistake.. it means nothing.. you are the one I really love.. it was just one time..it was a moment of weakness.. ;)

My "words" blog was all from veryyy recent times which I guess says a lot about how much words effect me in such a small time. Maybe those are the reasons I think so much. Yours was that you missed me a lot. Not just that you missed me but that you missed me a lot.  Thank you.. thank you.  I didn't think anyone would or have a reason to.  Thank you.

As the years have gone by, I still have considered you a close friend.  Just know I am always here for you.  You are strong but every once in a while you might need a shoulder to cry on or a listening ear. Love you. Can't wait to see you again soon.  Besides just loving our time together, you have brought some sun in when I still live in the dark.

Thank you.  I love you.  See you soon.

And now deep thoughts by Debbie ;)
