Lindsey, I have to say your friendship has been one of the most unexpected blessings in my life over the past few years! You intrigued me when I first saw you at the library but I never thought we would become such close friends and now roommates :)
Our walks around Lake Pine were a huge part of the growth of our friendship. They gave us many hours to discuss our perspectives on life and to challenge each other to new ways of thinking. They even got to be shared with Shelley when she came to visit :)
I will never forget how well you took care of me after the accident. Taking me to the park so I could get away for a bit and allowing me to be more independent than anyone else would let me be. Somehow you knew that was just what I needed at the time.
In many ways it was also thanks to you that I was able to go to college. You provided so much encouragement and help and reassurance. It was such a blessing to get to take all our classes together my first semester as I was learning the ropes of being in a "real" classroom setting.
We have shared so many memories, fun times, struggles and lessons. We've learned and grown together and I hope that continues for many more years to come!
May this year to come be a wonderful one for you! I know it will bring many changes and challenging times along with the enjoyable ones, but I pray that they will all bring growth and joy in the end. Happy Birthday my friend!!!
