"A true friend is someone who thinks you are a good egg even if you are half-cracked. " Author Unknown
My Friend: Auntie AndyHow we became friends: We grew up on the same street.Why we stayed friends: We went to the same school, had a shared group of friends, and continued to enjoy each other's company into adulthood. Distance could not come between our friendship.My friend's best qualities: cheerful, energetic, supportive, funny, thoughtfulWhy my friend is like family: My children call her "auntie" and think of her as their closest relative. She is there for me for all life's up and downs. People think we're sisters. She's the first one I call when I have news to share, whether it's good or bad.Friendship Highlight: Eating peanut butter sandwiches in a canoe while paddling around Lake Louise during our cross country trip across Canada.The last time I saw my friend we...went to an Olympic hockey game together!My note:Dear Auntie Andy,Thank you for being the best friend a girl could ask for. When I have a bad day, you cheer me. When I have a busy week, you forgive me for not keeping in touch. When I'm having the time of my life, you are usually with me. Even though we live far away from each other right now, we are closer than ever. I can't wait for our next visit! Thank you for being a true friend.Love TaraPS Why does our hair look the same colour in this picture? Weird.
