a dear friend...

we have been dear friends for some time...
it was an instant "click" of a connection...
she was there for all the milestones...
and even the little moments.

She always did her best to make these moments big or small...
special...
and seen in the best light...

I think I relied on her too much...
wore her out...
I was too demanding of a friend...
is that really a friend at all...
or a "user"?

She really is dear to me...
despite her age of the world's standards as "old"...
she is dear to me regardless...
and shall not be pushed aside.

She is sick...
I noticed it this summer...
and even mentioned to you friends that I thought she wasn't her o'le self as of late...
well...we went to the doctor yesterday...
she has been mailed out...
and won't return for 2-3 weeks...
we'll be missing Christmas together for the first time...EVER...
the geek doctor said yesterday that she might need a transplant...
I asked if she would return to me either way...

now a replacement friend would be welcomed...
but sentimental me...
being the good friend I desire to be to her...
as she has been to me...
I need her back...
fixed or unfixed...
she needs to retire next to the friend I had before her...
{yes I still have my original digital...it was a gift from hubby afterall!}

While thinking good thoughts during her diagnosis I would like to share a pic of us together during her our younger days...since she is never photographed afterall... she deserves some spotlight...

needless to say...the blog will be missing her...{thank goodness she already shot most of my Christmas decor...to be shared soon!}
