the laughter, the funny faces, the dress-up parties, the beauty, the always unique style, the photography, the "INFJ" (who just so happens to be my "ideal match" if i were a boy), the honesty, the truth-seeker, the real conversations, the raw emotion, the model, the "see into your soul" baby blue eyes, the juicy bum, the adventures, the charity...always the charity. lani, looking through these pictures to send to you brings back SO many beautiful and unforgettable memories of such a dear friend. my heart will never forget the girl who stayed up thru the night to "rescue" me from my "house intruder" and emotions, the girl who walked all the way back down the mountain just to spend time with me, the girl who lets me cry with her and shows no hesitation to cry with me, the girl who will drop everything to serve another, the girl who understands me in my relationships, the girl who helps take care of my sister and favourite nephew when my heart breaks that i'm not there, the girl who often ignores her own needs because she doesn't want to intrude on others, the girl who played sarah with me on our 2nd encounter in hawaii, the girl who loves me despite all my failings and flaws, the girl who emulates christ-like love. thank you for being that girl. happy special day. please ensure you get EXTRA hugs and squeezes today from me, got it? ;) i love you woman. xox
