This holiday season I am especially thankful for my friends. I am certainly thankful for all of them but especially Dawn and Linda. You know... I have to be honest here. After my best friend, Jen, passed away I truly didn't think that I would ever allow myself to get close enough to anyone to ever call them my best friend again. The loss was simply too much for my heart to handle. Sure, I have lots of friends... but I always just want to be sure that I don't allow them to get "that" close. I tried my best to protect myself from ever being hurt again. It has taken years...but I finally had to admit that I do have a best friend. Dawn. We do so much together... work, after school activities, laugh, talk family,even diet together. We just have fun. Too much fun sometimes. And because she knew Jen, I find it easy to talk about her and she helps me remember all of those cherished memories that I WANT to ALWAYS remember. And together with Linda... we spell trouble. Linda is who I want to be in the future. She is my role model.... my mentor... my Disney Double. I like who I am when I am with her. I know that I can always be myself and be honest and these two friends will still like me for who I am at the end of the day. That is what makes Dawn and Linda true friends. I realized that I was smiling more than ever again. My wall has finally come down and do you know what? I am happier now. Thanks Dawn and Linda.
