Today, October 9th, is my best friends birthday. I never dreamed I would have such a great friend in all my life. As a military brat and then military myself, people in my life come and go. I do manage to get close to a few, but a lot of my friends I keep at a distance because I have learned that things change. Even my very best friend, Parker, is not one I speak to often, but that is the beauty of our friendship. I don't have to, nor do I have to worry about it. Maybe that is selfish of me, but that is the kind of friendship I need.
We have been through a lot, Parker and I. Deaths, births, and a couple of awesome surprise visits. Together we have remained sisters in the world of chaos. Our dynamic never changes. We have grown up, lived close, lived far, married, and added, repeatedly, to our families. No matter what happens in our lives, we always end up being those two crazy kids, who at 15 just happened to sit next to each other in a class that neither of us really wanted to be in!
No matter how long we are apart, how great the distance, or what troubles we go through in our lives, I know that we are there for each other. We may not be up on the most current of events for each other, but really that stuff is trivial anyways. What matters is that when we see each other, she is the one person I can just talk to, like we never stopped our previous conversation. She has accepted me for all my crazy weirdness, my harsh attitude, my brutal honesty, hatred of just about everything and my need for reassurance. She has never doubted me and I've never doubted her. She has never given me reason to mistrust her, and has always been there when I've fallen. I have been her rock and she has been mine....numerous times. I don't know what I'd do without her and her amazing family. A family that has always accepted me as one of thier own. Sisters I would do anything for (and have, I might add). A mom that is always so giving and gracious, kind, funny, and LOUD, lol.
There is never a dull moment with these ladies and I am thankful for it. I love them all and I cannot wait to see them again!!
I just basically wanted to say, Happy Birthday, Parker. I love you, and always will.
Of course you won't read this because your ass is not on facebook and I don't have your email, but I know your awesome family will come through for me here!!
