Let's become little old ladies together-
We'll stay up late looking at old pictures,
telling "recap" stories, and laughing,
TILL OUR SIDES ACHE.

Let's become eccentric together-
the kind of old ladies who take long walks,
wear silly hats, and get away with acting outrageous in public places.
And if anybody should ask
how long we've been friends,
we'll say,
"Oh, forever-since before you were even born!"

Let's become old ladies together,
because
a friendship
that's as special
as ours
can only grow better
through the years.




for yelling to me across the room, before I could even see you.
for singing to me.
for giving me a present a day early, because you wanted to be the first person to.
for remembering, period.
for calling, out of the blue.
for hugging me.
for everything you are.
for everything you could be.
for anything at all.

and most of all just for being you.

I love you, all of you, so much.


today was one of the best birthday's ever, thank you!

17 baby, seventeen and ready for the world.
