As I sit here at
my trusty computer and try to find the words to tell you what
exactly your friendship means to me...I am at a loss for words (ya
know it doesn't happen much with me) I could start with how I
prayed for a friend...a friendship that lasts the tests of time...
I was feeling lonely with no one around that really cared enough
to listen...
I first seen you
before the boys even started kindergarten...soccer season was in
full swing..I was 9 months pregnant with a princess..and we were
both going through some sorts of the 'letting go' with our little
men...I could say the thanks for this beautiful relationship we
share goes to Jeremiah and Ben....cause when T-ball season
started..that was the reason why you called me....But, I know..that
it was higher powers that brought us together...You are an answer
to my prayers.....
When our
friendship was new....we talked for hours upon hours on the
telephone...I thought you were not only "Jeanette (aka Betty)
Homemaker" (able to do ANYTHING) but also Ms. Perfect...
Ahhh couldn't we write several interesting novels with all the
information we shared with each other those first few months???
Hour after hour...day after day...Never lacking for something to
say ....or maybe it was just to laugh...uncontrollably, no less,
about something that most people would find not a bit funny.....
During that time
the outside appearance was one of others getting sick of hearing
you talk about "Jo" and me talking about "Jeanette"
(Ya know..Jeanette can do ANYTHING...even make home made bread
from scratch !!!) But...deeper than the surface image of that
time....what was happening was two people were making up for all
the years that they had spent apart...we were bonding, creating a
friendship that withstands the tests of time..that endures the
trivial to reach the core...A friendship that is true, genuine
and ever-lasting....
Never in my life
have I trusted someone as completely as what I trust you. Never
before have I felt this connected..and this loved. Unconditional...that
is the perfect word for what you and I share....And although I am
now fully aware that the image of Betty (Jeanette) Homemaker is
sometimes just an image....I have affirmed, without a shadow of a
doubt...You are Ms. Perfect. Not only a wonderful person...but
the best friend anyone in the world could ask for...I'm so happy
God answered my prayers..with the girl that "just sparkles"
