Dear Amanda,
I just take the time to let you know how special of a person you are. I am so grateful that Bethany has a best friend like you, because, even though it may seem selfish, I have truly benefited from your friendship. You are one of the most friendly, cheerful, and fun people that I know... You will listen when someone is talking, you smile at almost everyone, and you always seem to be full of life. A young man who was struggling once said, "When life comes rushing at you, out of the darkness, is there someone you can count on?" I truly can say that if and when I will and have been struggling, you will be and were there to help me and talk with me, which I greatly appreciate. On a lighter note, "Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus or walk with you many miles when the limo breaks down." :) ...I know that if ever the car breaks down, (or you get lost :) ), I can count on you to take the bus with me or walk with me, because of your amazing strength ... Please don't get too prideful...Anyways, althougth this is one of the latest birthday notes that you will probably ever get, I just wanted to thank you for being my friend, my sister's friend, my best friend's sister, my counselor, and my sister (in Christ). I love you so much and hope that You, Me, Bethany, and Amy will spend many happy days together in the future... Maybe someday we will all be Babas sitting on the porch, Bethany with a mug of black coffee in hand... Only God knows....
Sincerely,
Christina
