Best Friends

Well, I wanted to tell you a little bit about one of my best friends. This person is so sweet, makes me feel good about myself, builds my confidence, reminds me to be youthful and accepts me for who I am. I have learned a lot from this "best friend". I have learned how to accept others, trust even when life hasn't dealt you the best hand, to laugh loudly and often. I have also learned from my "best friend" how to accept love and give love to perfect strangers. I've learned how to enjoy the basics of life through my "best friend" and being happy with what I have. I have learned how to be exceptionally brave and go with the flow when you have no control over what is going on. My "best friend" taught me to sing God's praise and to know His word. I have also learned patience, all the words that giving a hug can say without actually "saying" a word at all. This "best friend" taught me to never give up even when everything seems hopeless, because by not giving up she found out that hope was just around the corner. She taught me that things are never as bad as they seemed, because someone, somewhere in the world has it a heck of a lot worse. I've also learned how much love can be shown in just a gentle touch. She even taught me how to be cute even while "not being well". This best friend is amazing and I couldn't and wouldn't want to think about my life without her in it. When I think of everything that my "best friend" has taught me and given me, my eyes tear up (which they did while I wrote and reread this) and my heart grows. I haven't actually been with this friend for a long time, but when I think about it, this "best friend" has been in my heart forever, right along with her brothers. Yes, you guessed it, my "best friend" is my daughter Josephine Ann Wolfe. The reason I say she is one of my "best friends" is because while I was working on the computer today, she quietly came up beside me and wrapped her arms around my arm and looked at me and smiled and said,"You are my best friend", then she squeezed my arm. I don't know if I will ever forget that moment, I hope I never do. It was just the way she looked at me with such a sweatness about her and her little voice that I know to her I am her best friend right now. Each of those things I listed above are truly things that I have learned from my little "best friend". She may forget that moment, but I know I will not, and I will keep it hidden in my heart in a very special place, just for "Best Friends".
