I wear your name on my heart...

So, I got a bracelet from my best friend yesterday.

She got it in my favorite color.
She had inscribed her name on a heart charm on the bracelet.
She put an amazing scripture on the back of that heart.
And.. She got her one just like it... with my name on her heart.


There is another little place that has the word "dream" on it. And honestly, I couldn't think of a better gift, or a better friend.

I had a best friend in high school. A few of them actually. There was this one amazing girl who I called my "best friend". We did almost everything together. Her birthday was a couple of days ago and I started to remember certain things that have gone on in our lives. I loved just hanging out with her. She was different then me, and we usually had our own adventures. I could be my complete self around her. Well, a tradegy happened and it destroyed things. I can never say I know how she felt, or I understood her pain... I can't. I had no clue how to deal with that situation. All I knew is that it broke my heart to see her in pain, and I would have done anything to make that pain go away for her. I loved her as if she had been a part of my family; a sister. I haven't had a real conversation with her for about 2 years now. When I see her I just want to wrap my arms around her and tell her how much I have missed her.

We went to college and have done our seperate things, and I can honestly say that we don't even know each other anymore.

After this, it was extremely hard for me to let people get as close to me as she had been. These walls have managed to stay up for a long time, and I was beginning to think that I would never have close friendships again.

But all of that changed. I know have a friend that loves me for who I am. We are complete opposites, but it just works out.. in the most amazing way.

I have great friends. And I sincerely thank God for each and every one of them.
