She and her family are leaving our little town tomorrow...Pensicola bound. It is days,weeks and months like this that I can't stand the Navy. I do think that it is wonderful that we have men and women dedicated to serving our country but in this moment and on this day...I am selfish and wishing that they didn't have to go. I am not ready say goodbye. When I moved up here I thought that I had great friends that I was leaving, but what I didn't know is that God had great friends in store for me. I have never in my life had the closeness that I feel with these women that I have gotten to know here in my adult life. And while my head says that "this is only a peice of our history"--my heart can't see my days without her. Aubrey and I have such a closeness and we have been though so much heartache and joy together.....Aubs you are a forever friend. And this is not goodbye, but only goodbye for now. Well I can hardly see the screen at this point (tears) so I will close for now. I hope to read about your life in Florida...and you can check up on us now and then too. (like we won't talk...I know this is getting sappy). But I just wanted to close by saying that I am so thankful to Tonia for introducing us that day, I am so glad that Colby and Evan ended up on the same soccer team...and I am SO thankful that I will always have you as my friend. And I can't help but think of the words to a Michael W. Smith song...."and friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them..." We have an eternity together girl!!!!

This is for you Aubs
Okay so this is my second try at this...it should be reminding me of why I have never started a blog before. I pushed one wrong button and everything that I wrote went away!!! But I am doing this to honor my great friend Aubrey. She is an amazing blogger and I love to read all about what makes her smile and the special moments in her life.

I am so overwhelmed with emotion right now that i can't even begin to say everything on my mind and in my heart. Thank you..for everything...for who you are. I will absolutely love reading this and keeping up on the day to day! I love you more than you know....and this is indeed only goodbye for now.
ReplyDeleteI didn't want to make you sad...I just wanted to make sure you knew how much you meant to me...
ReplyDeleteI came over from Aubs blog. Just wanted to welcome you to blogland. It sounds like you and Aubs have a very special friendship. I am sure that it will last even through the miles of separation. :o)
ReplyDeleteI found you from Aubs blog! My heart hurts for you both, and I pray the days will make it easier. Reading each others experiences on your blogs will help too! Seeing each other having fun and smiliing in new places, new stories. I can only imagine the kind of friend Aubs is in person - she has been an amazing one to me and we've never actually met! God Bless you both! XOXO
