As many of you know, Tuesday is B's birthday. I was thinking about that this afternoon, and as I did, I couldn't help but be grateful for her presence in my life, and therefore the day of her birth.
She is there for me in a million ways. Just to name a few:
*surprising me with tickets to see Billy Joel for my birthday (which isn't until April.:o)
*making me laugh many times daily
*motivating me to get on the bike today
*she's helped me accept the condition of my apartment - and it's really okay
*being on the other end of the phone when I have to complain (or brag :o) about my kids
*listening to stories of weird dreams (that I don't really want to know the meaning of:o)
*she was my first friend at Eliot
*being in her classroom to hear my latest saga with administration, parents or students
*being a shoulder to cry on due to saga with administration, parents or students, or anything else that's going on (I cry a lot :O)
*I can complain to her about hubby, and I know she won't judge him
*I've told her things I've never told anyone else
*fellow walker on weekends and after school
*playdate for those long afternoons or mornings
*constantly putting things in perspective for me
Most importantly,
*B is one of two people in this world who make it (more) okay for me not to be perfect (those of you who know me, know what a challenge this is for me) - and she reminds me of this every day and without saying a word...

Oh dear. Was not expecting this. Am blushing even though there's no one here.
Well, I can say all of those things about you too. (Except for the apt. and perfection thing. Lord knows, I don't strive for perfection!)
But can add that you drive me to school when it snows!
Love you,
b
What a great friendship the two of you have. It's wonderful.
:)
Warm fuzzies here!
Good friends are precious, aren't they?
:-)
Very nice post Mel! I think it's just what she needs... a little love: )
