Happy Birthday To My Friend

Today is my friend LeeAnn's birthday. Now I've said several times, that the birth days of my friends and loved ones are very special to me. Those days give us a chance to REALLY celebrate the lives of those incredible people.

Well, today we celebrate LeeAnn. And I'm going to do that by sharing a bit of who she is to me with you. I want you to see, even if it's just a glimpse, how special this woman is. What a gift she is to those who are lucky enough to know her.

First - she is one of the most beautiful women I know. Not just to look at, although look at this smile.......trust me when I tell you it literally lights up a room.

Like I said, not only is she beautiful on the outside, she is truly one of the thoughtful, intelligent, all around good people I have ever known.

When she first met a friend of mine all they could say was how right I was. She draws you in, you just want to spend time with her.

And her sense of humor. Holy Cow. If you read over here much at all, you will have seen some of her comments. Trust me when I tell you - she's even funnier in real life.

Beautiful, kind, intelligent and funny. How lucky am I to call her friend?!?!

LeeAnn.......we met in a horrible place. We often still refer to it as Hell. And they say something good comes from everything. The good for me, from those awful months, is the friendship I've found in you. You make my life better just by being a part of it.

I wish you the very best of everything....always. But especially today, your birth day. And may this next year bring dreams to life and banish the trials. Or at least turn them to your advantage.

You deserve the very best.......because, darlin', that is exactly what you are.

Happy Birthday! I love you.......

Thank you sweetheart. (Although truth be told, that wasn't the *first* word that came to mind.)

I hope to live up to the wonderful things you had to say about me. And it's true, out of Hell came Angels! ;)

Can't wait to see you, safe travels!

Thank you Tammi for sharing who Lee Ann is. I couldn't agree more. She has truly blessed my life. Now, if we could just get her to move back home!!!
