You Told Harpo To Beat Me!

Note: The title of this post has nothing to do with the post except for the fact that me & my bestie have quoted this line too many times to count! It was the funny part of our day when we used to work together and it still makes me laugh to this day! It is definitely appropriate for this cause we get each other like that! My friend is leaving and while I am sad that she is no longer going to be on this rock of an island with me, I am excited for her to finally be somewhere she loves! This chicky is amazeballs okay, she is an amazing woman, an incredible mom, and a super amazing friend! Because I am super emotional and would probably be bawling my eyes out if I tried to give her this message by speech I decided to write it out so here goes Boddie:

People say that somewhere in the world there is someone who’s just like you; I know I’ve met that someone, my friend, my sister, my twin! From day one we’ve opened up to each other with no judgment, no hate, nothing but true and honest friendship. I remember those days you cried and I felt your pain. It made me sad to see you hurt, to know that I couldn’t take that pain away, but I prayed that God would heal you, that he would make you whole again.
God has a way of putting people in your life for a reason, I was there for you, but in so many ways you were the one helping me. I have watched you grow so much in the two years I’ve known you. I admire your drive, your strength and the fight you have in you. To know your story and how far you have come makes me even more proud of being your friend.
When it was my turn to boo hoo you stepped in with no questions and were there. You are still there for me today and I can’t thank you enough for the many nights where you have given advice, shared your own stories, motivated me to keep going or just simply sat there and listened. Sometimes silence is all we need and you knew that.
What’s even better than someone being there when you are down is that same person being happy for you when you are up. You would be amazed at how hard it is for some people to be happy when others are blessed. We have shared both good and bad times and have been genuinely happy for each other in those times of joy! I can’t wait to see and hear of all of the amazing experiences that you are going to have because you deserve so much and I know that you are going to be blessed beyond measure.
I am so happy and excited for this new journey in your life. I am going to miss you more than words can express, but I know that distance won’t change anything because we’ll only be a prayer, a phone call, and a plane ride away! I thank God for bringing you in my life everyday!
So, shake your shimmy, sister
Cuz', honey, Miami is gonna be fine….. lol
Love you Jadita!!!
