a few things i love about my friends 1

Sorry I didn't write about everyone. I love every one of my friends the same and wish i had written about all of you.


I miss the way that your eyes light up when you laugh. I miss the talks we had. I miss your emails. I miss the gentle way you would talk to others. I miss the fun we had hanging out. I miss the made up games we played. I miss how I could truly be myself around you, and how i could tell you what was on my mind and you would listen and give me advice and always be there for me. I miss our talks about God and how we shared prayer requests almost weekly. I love how  you are passionate about your family and make to spend quality time with them and how your younger siblings love you as an older brother. I miss you so much.

I love how you laugh at me when i find silly things funny. I love how you can go up to people and just talk to them. I love how creative you are with your hands and can make beautiful things out of wood and how super modest you are with them. I love how you pretend to be full of yourself and how you pretend to have a big ego, but really you're caring and thoughtful and serious. I love how you show affection to your mother and how obvious it is you love her. I love how responsible you are and how you make sure to get your work done before play. I like how you smoke pipes with Seth and how it reminds me of Lord of the Rings, and how you can smell the smoke in the cup you're drinking out of, and i pretend to hate the smell but actually don't mind the smell. I love how even though you pretend to hate hugs, you actually like them and are willing to give them out. I love how you love God with all you're heart and you express that every day. I will miss you this summer.

I love the way you care about others and listen to their problems and you always have words of wisdom to offer or an encouraging smile. I love how you always put up with my sillyness and still love me for it. I love the way you smile when you're laughing on the inside at me. I love that you waited for the right man before dating and getting married to dustin, even though the whole world finds that strange to wait that long. But that's what makes you special and incredible. I love the way how God is the center of your life and your marrige. I love how your life reflects the love of Christ, and how it shines out onto others. Never change.

I love that even though you pretend to hate everything and everyone, you are the exact oppisite and you care about everyone. I love the way you make fun of me and when i pretend to be mad you hug me and apoligize. I love how hard working you are. I love that you're not afraid of hanging out with all girls even if you do complain about it. I love that you actually like that i get scared easily and that you missed it. I love how you smoke pipes with Eddie and how you both remind me of characters out of Lord of the rings.  I love how you'll let me try things that you are currently using/eating/drinking/smoking without batting an eye. I miss you when you're at school.

I love the way you care about your friends and how you are so thoughtful in everything and think everything out  and it reminds me i should do that more often. I love how you can write songs and aren't afraid to share them. I love how you are passionate about dancing and teaching people to appreciate it too. I love how knowledgeable you are and how even though you are young you are wise beyond your years.

I love how your family has taken me under their wing after jill got married. I love how your family just adopted me. I love that even though it can sometimes confuse me you are so careful with germs.

I love that you trust me to enough to share your secrets with me. Most people think that becasue i'm kinda silly that i can't keep secrets and will just blab them. I love that you love me unconditionally no matter what i do. I love that you'll laugh hystericly with me while everyone just shakes their head. I love how you care about your friends and are there for them. I love how kids just love you. You are a great little sister and great friend.

I love that you took me in as part as your family. I love how much you love God and how evident it is when you're talking and praying. I love how you encourage others to do the same. I love how hilarious you are and how you tease your family but make it clear how much you love them. I love that you call me your daughter and are excited to see me whenever i come over. I am proud to call you my Tio.
