My Girlfriend.....

My girlfriend .... you know who you are and I rarely single anyone out but today its all about you.
I met you close to 5 years ago and I have been thankful for your friendship ever since. My life has had its ups and downs as has yours and we have shared good times and bad..and sad.
You have always kept things real with me and that's what I love about you. When I have my head screwed on only half way I know it because you can always openly tell me I do. You can shed light on things I am dealing with or going through and I can always see your point because you have my best interest in your heart as well as my kids (Gosh, you are smart). You are such a giver and rarely a taker. (: Even if you need me to be your counselor for the evening over a few glasses of red wine.
I know when I am at my low point I can pick up the phone and call you and you will listen and make me laugh or smile. I know you never feel like you will solve my problems but you offer your advice with a take it or leave it attitude. (I seem to always "take it" because you are a lot of times right)
I will never stop loving our friendship because it has always had the "real" factor that is so hard to find. I love you unconditionally as my friend and admire the wife that you are to your husband, the mother you are to your kids, as well as simply just the woman you are, and should I add the paper seller that you are soon to become.
You have never needed or wanted the spotlight but I wanted to let you know that you are a "bright" spot in my life. Thank you for your constant love, support, phone calls, booze nights, lunches, coffee mornings, dinners, ....you name it. (Constant friendship.)
Thank you the most for keeping it real. (and thank you for the lucille's tonight)
You are one of my best friends and I love you.
Hugs always,
J
