Friends Forever...

I met LF when I was in my first year of College. I was instantly drawn to her cheerful vibe, unique style and as she sat in front of me on the first day I saw a fairy tattoo on her back and thought I need to tell her how much I like it!

From there we began a lasting friendship. I feel that everything happens for a reason. This would prove true as that year went on. I learned that she was going through a difficult family breakup. In respect of her and her family I don't plan on going into details regarding the situation. The one thing that happend was that she had to move from her childhood home to an apartment building. I couldn't imagine going through this myself and thinking about how easily everything can change in your life.
I wanted to help in anyway I could because my friends happiness was/is important to me.

I remember one night at the apartment her mom was working late and we had recently become obsessed with F.R.I.E.N.D.S episodes. (wait I'll be honest I already had the obsession and just got her hooked as well) I will never forget what happend when her mom came home visibly upset about a few issues that had gone on in her day. L was frustrated with all the constant negativity that hearing her mom upset again frustrated her and she stopped her mom and said "MOM!" she went quiet then said "do you see this TV in front of us?" "And do you see the show that's on? That Mom is my happy place.. in that box right there in front of us! Please if you love me you will just sit down and get happy with us!"... She sat down and watched.

Seven years later she has overcome so much and is still is such a positive light... I can safely say I have found a friend for life!
