As you all know I created this blog to keep in touch with family and to share stories about Sophia. However, this blog is going to be a little different. My best friend of 17 years will be leaving Houston and headed to Dallas to start a new chapter in her life. I am so excited for her but at the same time I am going to miss her immensely!
I will never forget the day she called me to tell me that she had been offered the job in Dallas. I kept my composure over the phone and told her that I was happy for her. As I hung up the phone I just started crying. I went to tell my husband and I couldn't even get the words out but somehow he knew and he just held out his arms and I cried on his shoulder. When I finally was able to talk and told him that Angie was moving to Dallas his response was,"are you going to be ok?" I just looked him and said, "No, but I guess I will be putting some miles on my car." He made a comment that he never could understand our friendship but that he was jealous of our friendship. It was in that moment that I knew I had something that most people did not have, a true friend.
For the last 11 years Angie and I have worked together and I did not realize what a gift I had until the day she put in her notice at work. Even though I knew it was coming it was still very hard to swallow that soon she would not be down the hall from me. I can not put into words how difficult this is going to be for me so instead I am going to tell you a little bit about her and why she is a big part of my life. She is the kind of person that will tell you like it is even if the truth hurts because in the end you will be a better person because of her honesty. She is a compassionate person and will do anything for her friends. She is the life of the party who has never met a stranger. She is a strong individual who knows what she wants and goes after it. Other than my husband, Angie has been a constant in my life and I could not imagine my life without her. I know that no matter what happens I can always count on Angie to be there for me. I love Angie like a sister and I wish her the best in Dallas. I want her to know that she can always count me to be there for her whenever she needs me.
Before I go I do have to mention one other small tiny reason for the move to Dallas. His name would be Dustin. I have met him and believe me I wish I could say that I don't like him and that he is no good for Angie. However, he is probably the best thing that has happened to her in a long time. He makes her happy therefore I am happy. If anyone deserves to be happy it is Angie!
If you are friends with Angie then you should feel honored that your life has been blessed by this wonderful person. If you do not know Angie, that is your loss!
So I am not going to say goodbye. I am going to say, "See ya soon!"
Luv ya girl!!!
