Blow Out the Candles

Friends Last Forever
RIP Oldest and Dearest One


Friends forever. It was something I wrote in your cards since kindergarden, something I meant with all my heart, but something I never really understood until I lost you. Today is your birthday, the first one without you. I'm taking all the high notes from singing you happy birthday, the sprinkles from your cakes, the words from your birthday cards and the thought in all your gifts of birthdays past and wrapping this day up entirely in you. Thank you for being born. Thank you for years and years of friendship. Thank you for too many memories to count -- good and bad ones. And, in leaving so bravely after a courageous battle, thank you for giving us all your forever. Happy Birthday!
