Happy Birthday Donna!


Maalish Lulu!

I’m not even sure how to even begin this letter really. Can I just say that you are simply amazing? Because, you are!

We met by chance and I’m glad we became friends by choice and I have loved every second of it.

You are the most genuine & awesome friend.  And I’d like to say a few things…

·         I love you for all the stupid things that we talk about and our WTF conversations on drunk Friday nights.
·         I miss not meeting you often and love chatting every day.
·         I could’ve never gotten through life’s huge emotional crap without you.
·         I have a list of people whom I trust unconditionally and you are a top contender.
·         I wish I could play you a song today “Two steps behind” by Def Leppard

You know this list can go on till it gets creepy…so I’ll save you the horror and just say three things.

The first is an excerpt of a spoken word poetry by Sarah Kay. (I chanced upon it on you tube.) 

“But I have seen the best of you and the worst of you and I choose both. I want to share every single one of your sunshines and save some for later. I will tuck them into my pockets so I can give them back to you when the rains fall hard. Friend, I want to be the mirror that reminds you to love yourself. I want to be the air in your lungs to remind you to breathe easy. When the walls come down, when the thunder rumbles, when nobody else is home, hold my hand and I promise never to let go.”

Second. I wanted you to re-live the experience of getting sentimental letters on your birthday from ‘you know who we never name!’ (LoL)

And third…I love you and wish you the world’s happiness.

Happy Birthday!

    Thanks a ton, love..It is really really strange how we spent close to 2 years sitting next to each other and did not get to know each other much...and it is only after I moved to a different city I realized what a great friend I had left behind! If that isnt symbolic of this whacky, and yet awesome, friendship, I dont know what is :D Love you.
    P.S. The flowers are at my window and a bar of chocolate is already in my tummy :P
