I have been meaning to write this post for a while now and am just not sure how to word it all. This weekend, Matt and I attended a wedding with two very dear friends, Callie and Matt (it is a popular name in our circle!) We had a blast DOMINATING the dance floor and it made me appreciate all over again what a wonderful friend I have in Callie. Now don't get me wrong!! Matt and I have been so blessed with so many wonderful friends that if I were to write about all of them, I would max out the limit on word count :)
Callie reminds me of a phoenix. She has risen from the ashes of sorrow this year and I am amazed and love to call her my sister and friend. In the last year, Callie built a house, planned a wedding to the second most awkward dancer I know, and had to go through the most traumatic event a child can face, losing her mother to cancer. Never once did she complain (OK, maybe once but NO ONE is a saint!). She still kept tabs on my life and my family, even through that trauma, which was above and beyond the usual stress of getting married. Never have I met a person who more emulates the verse in John, "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you."
I wanted to write something that praised her awesomeness and to show how much in awe that I am of her resilience, faith and joy and I am speechless. Thank you for being a friend, sister, roommate, and inspiration. I am proud to know you.
