I found myself wanting to say something yet struggling with the words to express it.

You see, four days from now is the day that my dearest friend Emily will once again begin a new chapter in her life and as odd as it may sound,( I really don’t care what others think)I believe I share her excitement.

I wanted to say something adequate but in the end, after extensive pondering and too many hits on the backspace, I came to the conclusion that being as articulately expressive and brashly honest as she is (it’s one of the many things about her that make her so lovable), she's already said it all. There's nothing else to say.

So in her own words…


“Thank you for your love, thank you for your friendship, for being there for me, for supporting me in prayer - for everything. If our friendship ends here then I want you to know that I don't look at what we had as a waste of time or something I regret…

Nothing the heart gives away is lost; it is kept in the hearts of others. And you'll always have a special place in my heart…

I do wish you the best in love and life and if I never hear from you again... thank you, for everything…

I will always hold you in high esteem in my heart, for you have your own special place there.”

So here goes to those of you who have that feeling when you first wake up in the morning and stretch, that passion for life. The ones whose fantasies are somehow real and don’t settle for a dream, those that choose to allow those fantasies become a reality.

No one wants to have a half lived life.

Remember that, when things are not enough… I’ll be right here behind you.

May the good times begin!
