12 years

This is an extra special post...Cassie and I have been friends for 12 years as of July 4th, 2011.(It's funny we actually know the date but the Holiday does help)..I have known her only a few weeks before that but the 4th was the first time we hung out...Mike shut the theater down way (I wasn't working but I remember Josh came and got me) Any how Cass stayed and hung out too. It was so fun..We about got set on fire my Danile as we were trying to go up onto the Towne West Mall roof...We have always joked about the 4th being our anniversary....So many great memories with her. She has been there for me thru so much. Break ups, heartache, the happiest times, she was the first person I called when I got engaged... She was by my side through so much trials with my husband ready to do whatever she had to to make sure I was ok. She listens to my crazy idea's and talks me back down or sometimes goes along with them =). SHe has been there thru loosing a parent, and celebrating the birth of my son, her, Godson. She is always there. We have been thru so much together, celebrated so much as friends. She know's when to call, it's weird like we have a internal sensor when the other one needs them. We have gone thru moves and now live two states apart. I remember when she moved 6 years ago almos to the day how devestated I felt. But the amazing thing is she is still so close to me. I saw her on almost a monthly basis there for a while just because I wanted to make sure she was ok. That is how important she is to me.

When I am around her I feel whole. If you have a soulmates that our friends then she is mine. She gets me and I get her. We are so much alike it's scary sometimes. I miss her not being near, but in a sense I feel she always is. As a mother she is who I look up to and who I go to when I feel I am doing it wrong. She is so much like a sister. Sometimes her timing at being at the right place at the right time is God's work. Words can't express how much this friendship means to me. Make fun if you will but this is an important day to both of us and if we don't get a party at 20 years we will beat you all down. =) CASSIE CROTTS. I LOVE YOU JUST LIKE YOU ARE MY FAMILY, MY SISTER. I THANK GOD EVERYDAY FOR GIVING ME SUCH A WONDERFUL FRIENDS. YOU MAKE ME A BETTER PERSON AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT. Happy 12 years of being stuck with each other he he he he. LOVE YA GIRL.
