In Love...

There is an indescribable sensation that occurs when your hearts finds and connects with your soul mate. There is a sonic-boom within your soul when one kindred spirit encounters another. I remember well this instantaneous flood of emotion from when I met my husband and when I first laid eyes upon my Abigail. It has occurred again in another form, in friendship. I have long been praying to be blessed with a dear and special friend. One who can see the ugly and still think beautiful, one who I can be out of line with and who will yank me back in, one who can know and understand the innermost thoughts and workings of my heart and feel as though that is a reflection of her own. I have found her. You know who you are, and I am so very blessed to know you. I am honored to spend time with you. I aspire to be more like you, and I hope that through the growth of our friendship I will resemble all that is good the way you do. Do not fear that I have a false impression or that I have put you upon some unsustainable pedestal, I have but been touched by the truly genuine and real person that you are. Thank you, dear sister of my heart, for allowing me into your life and for being the long-awaited answer to a prayer! I hope that I can return to you all that you have given to me...

I share this not to pique curiousity but to give praise to the Lord for a prayer answered, and to allow this sweet woman to know how truly special she is without bringing her any undue embarassment...just in case she doesn't feel that same about me! :-)
