for over an hour. It's only been 3 months since I saw her last, but after working with her for 13 years, this is a long time.
I vividly remember the day I told her I was leaving Bryan. Without saying a word, she just looked at me. She cried crocodile tears before I could even begin my explanation. Thank goodness Brandy was there when it happened or I think I might have lost it. She's been my friend a long time.
She was my friend when I wasn't really a good friend back. She prayed for me (many a time and probably more than I know) when I couldn't seem to pray for myself. She's been my mentor, my cheerleader, my counselor... I think she would've been my lawyer if I needed it. I love her for that...
And until yesterday, I didn't realize just how much I would miss her. She emailed me today and this is what she had to say, "when I got off the phone (after talking to you) you would think I would be upbeat and happy. Instead, I had a sunken feeling. I miss you. There are some people that just can't be replaced , duplicated or copied and you are one of them! I sure do miss you." I cried when I read it. Just like Wendy to say something that makes me laugh and cry all at the same time.
Wendy, I miss you too (and I love ya girl)! Thanks for being my friend.
***When we close on the house November 12th, I get to see my dear old friend*** I'm taking the camera. I'm ashamed to say that I don't think I have a single picture of she and I together. I'll post a pic next week.

Wendy is a great friend to have! I miss her too! I talked to her the last time I was in Bryan and I hope to get to see her the next time I visit. I'm glad that you got to talk to her. She is definately an awesome friend!
Wow... your post so hit me.. if you could only know what we have been dealing with these past few weeks. My husbands' best friend (other than me, of course!) from high school passed away - an accident - totally unexpected - shocking... we are still in a fog and carry around a heaviness over the loss. The ONE THING that I can say to your blog post is that you are so blessed to have that friendship and to stay connected, and follow your instincts and TAKE THAT CAMERA... we have very few photo's of Kev'... he and Dave hung out at least once or twice a week - every week... and we only have a handful of pictures of him. I WISH I would have thought to snap away when he and Dave were playing games, or golfing, or whatever!? I am praying that your visit next week will strengthen your bond and give you LOTS to scrap!!!

Wow I know just how you feel. They say we truly only have a handful of true friends. The ones that are there for you no matter what. Cherish your time with her and can't wait to see your photos.
Hugs
What you wrote is so touching! It's true too, about only having a couple friends like that. Ones that can't be replaced or duplicated. It's so nice too to know that there are people out there that love us unconditionaly, sometimes when perhaps we're not loving ourselves the best. Does that make sense? Anyways, what you wrote was touching and I just thought that I would let you know! Thanks for the reminder!
