Honestly I can’t remember how it happened, but you crept right into my heart. You with your beautiful smile and cheery laugh. It wasn’t hard to love you right away. Maybe it’s that your words are so encouraging, genuine, funny, and well just adorable. It’s that but it’s just YOU. You loving Jesus and that sweet hubby and those 8 wonderful dears. I have no idea why you let me into your life but oh how thankful I am that you did! When you wrote that too cute for words note caring about me I had to ask you to go to tea. Friend, it was delightful. And I added a few new reasons to love you to an already long list. Because you listen so well and treat me like a woman and not the silly girl that I am. The fact that you ordered that m&m cookie and wondered if you could also get a glass of milk made me just want to hug you! But then when I saw that we were both wearing silly socks and converse (‘cept your feet are so much tinier) then I knew that I wanted to end up like you. Not that I needed that extra assurance but it DID make me smile. Thank you for investing in my life and for praying for me even though you have enough things to keep you busy. I love you Darcie.

Go give a friend a hug today or send a note to someone you care about!
Also any of you June babies want to join me and “give up” your birthday for the kiddos in India? If you decide to join me in this venture you can ask your friends and families to donate the amount that matches your age for your birthday. 
So if you want to join me would you leave a comment below? It would be fun to get a list of names (and places) from which people are going to share “their” day. I think this is going to be fun!
I’m going to write my best friend a letter right now.
This was so sweet! Darcie seems wonderful.
That’s so great! You’re so faithful with writing and writing to people Victoria. I need to grow in that area!
Yes, she’s just lovely!
my honey says…right outta the chute this morning…”did you read elaini’s post yet?” (yes! he’s a faithful reader! 😉 )
so i jumped right on here…and smiled at that pic of our pigs…and then, after only making it past your first thought…turned right away with a “i can’t read that!”
’cause i just knew that if i kept on…you were gonna make me cry!
and he just laughed at me! (of all the nerve!)
but then i came back…
and…oh my…
you’ve just left me searching and searching for just the right words…
you…truly…are just too kind for any i find!
so…i guess…the best and only things to say are…”thank you”…and “how i do love you too!”…
oh…and, of course…i am most certainly “sure” of you!
Aww! You’re both so sweet to faithfully read my blog. 🙂
Don’t cry! Unless they are happy tears. Hee hee! He’s a funny one. 🙂
Well I’m not too kind. I’m just telling the truth like it is friend.
I love you!
Friends (and family;) are the best! This post was so sweet and a good reminder to make sure my friends know that they’re special.
I love the Winnie the Pooh quote. 🙂
Yes, I’m so grateful for them!
Winne the Pooh is just too sweet and cute! 🙂
