My thanks for today is for my good friend H. She inspires me in so many ways in the (mostly) graceful ways she lives her life. She loves deeply. She knows how to laugh. Given her childhood experiences, these two things alone are nothing short of miraculous. I wish she gave herself a little more credit.
She is a thoughtful giver; when she gives you a gift, you know it was picked with very specific thought for you and your needs/wants/loves... not just to fill an obligation. She always remembers my birthday, even though I always seem to forget hers. She sends me Mother's Day cards.
She is my "2 am" person... you know...

the person you can ALWAYS call, even at 2 am.
She appreciates the finer points of warm brownies and ice cream.
We can talk every day or once a month and it's still like coming home.
So my love, as I visit you today with excessively chocolate cake in tow (Happy Birthday, a little late as usual), I hope you know how much I love you and how awe-struck I am by you.

Um, I love you too. No fair making me cry. (I read this before, but it's hard to commment from the crackberry.)
