Everyone needs one

I have a number of people surrounding me that enrich my life on a daily basis. I am always trying to think of a way to say a measly but genuine thank you.

Michelle Peters is one of those people.

I'm not quite sure where to begin. From surprise coffee visits at work that brighten my day to soup deliveries when I'm under the weather, Michelle shows me in so many ways how much she cares. Recently my husband (I say my husband partially so you know exactly who I'm talking, but mostly cause I love calling him such), anyhow, Justin came home to visit me for a weekend. It'd been a month away and we had desperately missed each other. Michelle and her hubby, Travis, surprised us with a night at a beautiful hotel. When she told me, I was speechless. And I am still speechless. This wasn't your typical Comfort Inn hotel experience, this was an elite hotel with all the fancies that made us feel like something special. Justin and I felt so loved that day.

I won't list every little thing she does, but this type of gesture is the norm with her. She speaks my love language and maybe that's why I feel so loved by her. She thinks of every detail and knows exactly how to make me smile.

Michelle is a treasure. I wish everyone a friend like her.

Michelle, I can't thank you enough for teaching me what friendship is all about. It's about seeing the small needs and meeting them with or without acknowledgement. It's knowing how to make one smile when a smile feels impossible. It's laughing together till your stomachs hurts, it's joining an exercise program that's unthinkable and faking push-up incapability's and it's telling me an outfit looks terrible, when it sincerely looks terrible. Not sure what I'd do without you. Good thing I don't have to know. So sincerely thank you for you.
