It's amazing to me, that I am loved. Now don't get me wrong. I know my family loves me, and my husband and children. And I know my friends do too. But it's amazing, I'm worthy of it. It's kind of hard to wrap your brain around it. I'm sure it goes all the way back to my mother leaving. If your mother doesn't love you, no one else will. You know, for being such a self confident woman, I sure am insecure. This weekend, my friends threw a surprise birthday party for me. It took so much effort and planning. I still can't even believe it. Even some of you came! All that way, just for me. It still makes me cry. I hadn't had a birthday party since I was 8. And never ever a surprise one. I have thrown several for other friends of mine. Or who I thought were friends. I am so blessed to finally at this time in my life, just before my surgery, to finally know what true friendship is, and to find it all around me. For those of you that couldn't make it, don't feel badly! I know you wanted to be there, and were with us in spirit!
Bridget, I love you so much. I think way more then you know. You are not just an inspiration to me. You aren't just a muse, you are like... an extention of me. Of the me I hope to become. You love and accept me for who I am. And you make me feel like I can do anything. I want you to know how much I appreciate you. Thank you so much for comming, for my presents, and for all you do for me. And yes... at least 50 more birthdays together!
Marcia, you have a smile that lights up the entire room. And my entire world. You look so fabulous and are just glowing! Thank you for always making me feel loved. Thank you so much for my goal t-shirt! I hung it up in my room, and I see it everyday! I can't wait to post an after picture wearing it!
Marie, you beautiful tiny little person. I'm so happy I finally got to meet you, and hug your tiny little self. You make me laugh so much, and you are so knowledgeable! I love that you came to my party. Thank you so much! I look forward to spending more time with you sweetheart!
Linda, my little pumpkin... (please don't call me Monkey Tongue  ) I'm so happy you came too. I can't believe how alike we are, in so many ways. We are traveling this road together, and by this time next year we will have gone to the otherside together as well. Thank you so much for my candles. How on earth did you know purple was my signature color???
Thank you all for making me feel loved, and worthy of being loved. I hope I return the favor on a daily basis!
