take two

FRIENDS... I must be the luckiest girl ever, because not only do I have the world's best family, I have the world's best friends:) I could go on forever about each person. Today I'm just going to say how grateful I am for each friend that has come and gone, or even stayed. You all know who you are. Each friend has made a huge impact on my life, and I can never thank you enough. I love the lyrics to the song "For Good" from the Broadway musical Wicked. They truly apply to my life, and the people I have met thus far...

I've heard it said That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...

Who can say if I've been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better
And because I knew you...
Because I knew you...
Because I knew you...
I have been changed for good.
