To my stick-with-you friends....

Thanks for loving me and not how clean my house is.

Thanks for showing up and sitting with me in silence. Just being there with me, not expecting anything.

Thanks for laughing with me so much it makes my sides ache.

Thanks for loving my kids like your own.

Thanks for loving me and all my quirks and I know there are many.

Thanks for all the times you were there without me even asking.

Thanks for the "just checking in on you" notes.

Thanks for celebrating my dreams.

Thanks for holding me up when I was weak.

Thanks for not judging the dishes in the sink. Heck, so many times you just start doing the dishes with me.

Thanks for speaking up and saying the hard things.

Thanks for the 3 a.m. calls without the guilt.

Thanks for knowing sometimes the tears need to fall.

Thanks for being there in the good, the bad, and the normal.

Thanks for being the biggest supporter.

Thanks for the investment in my life.

Thanks for your honesty.

Thanks for sharing your life with me.

and

Thanks for letting me be the same for you.
