Not very often in life do you find someone who not only is your best childhood friend, but your maid of honor at your wedding, and your friend for life. I was lucky enough to find my best friend in second grade.
About a month ago, I saw this card at the store that read "A Good Friend will know how you take your coffee"..."With Booze in it". It was such a fun, cute card, all I could think of was Krysti. I dropped the card in the mail. A few days later I got a message on facebook from her thanking me for the card but more importantly telling me that she actually purchased the same card for me but had lost in the middle of moving Cole, so she bought another one and sent that instead. She knew when she received the card that it read familiarly but didn't realize why until she thought deep about it. She made it her goal to find the card.
Today, I received the card it the mail. What an amazing feeling to have a friend that lives in a different city, at a different stage in life, but through lifes ups and downs, I can count on her to be there and know exactly whats on my mind.
As the saying goes, friends are chosen family, and this girl... I would chose over and over again.
