Friendship

When you meet someone in your travels and you invite them into your "inner circle" of friends, you already know that they are exceptional.  Then they go and do something that moves them from being exceptional to where you are just honored to be in THEIR inner circle.

My friend, R, is this person.  We met a few years ago through work and have remained friends.  He takes quite a bit of my Princess tantrums by just laughing them off or sending me funny text pictures, still can't figure out the last picture though.... how large was that paintbrush?  When I lost my job, he was there emailing me job postings, recommending me for jobs and best of all would just "mud sling" right along with me when I needed to vent.

These past few weeks R has stepped up to the plate in ways many would not.  I won't go into detail, but suffice to say he has taken on a huge task to save a friend.  I know that there are many who can attest to his great friendship.  R has asked for nothing in return.   Me, I would be insisting on an IOU with regards to a pair of Manolo Blahniks, and would be reminding you, when needed, that I know where the bodies are buried.

R, you are an amazing friend and I am honored to be included in your circle of friends.
