I wish there was a way to put music to this post, so that you can listen to the song that makes me tear up, if not flat out cry, when I hear it. This post is for my best friend, Leann, whom I have known so long I don't remember a time when I didn't know her. She has been my level head and shoulder to cry on and the reason I have laughed so hard I almost wet my pants. I am so very thankful for her and her friendship, and I am most truly thankful for her faithfulness to God and the wonderful example of a Christian in her walk with God. I love her soooo much and she will always be my friend forever.
Friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them

Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

I am so glad you found those pictures! I love all of those memories and of course I cried my way through this post. Still crying actually. I am so glad you enjoyed Laura love month =)
What a great post. I'll say it again. Friends are one of God's greatest gifts. Love Mom aka Gma
Love the pictures (although some are a little hard to look at due to my hair)! And love you too, Leann.
