Dear my truest friend on her birthday,
I love you so much. Thanks for really blessing me. I know I have covered you in words today and not the material things every birthday girl should get, but this is what is truly from my heart.
You are such a character. You laugh at everything, make a joke of everything, but get when it's time to be serious. You get scared during scary movies despite your crazy bravado (looook itttt uuuuppp), nod thoughtfully during a great song, ask the BEST questions, talk about the real stuff, and try your very hardest to be a thug.
You're very nearly there, nigga.
Thanks for being brave enough to smile all the time. You stand really tall for a new Christian, and that makes me so proud. You make me proud every day when you share a new Scripture you read, talk about your mom getting upset about you going to another Bible study, find your own fellowship when you have to go to soccer, and never ceasing to challenge yourself spiritually. You are so wise, and make me want to be better.
Thanks for the fun times. All the times you understood when I was tired so we just watched a movie, for making me go explore the nature trail, for laughing when I fall but still helping me up (then letting me go so I fall again!) and making me do crazy stuff, knowing I'm going to love it.
You are such a blessing, Megan. Here's to 17 years. PARTY PENDING.
