So I know this woman.

She's absolutely one in a million!!! I love her more than I could ever tell her! I've known her for a while now and she is such an example of strength and motherhood to me! I know that I am blessed to to have her in my life! My family is blessed because Heavenly Father must have known I would need her! I know that my life is easier because of her thoughtfulness and encouragement when I need it the most! I know that so many other people feel the same way about her too! She really listens to me when I need to talk (and poor Brian has heard enough!). I know that her life isn't easy or perfect but from her sweet smile and genuine concern for those around her, you'd never know! I appreciate that she always has something nice to say about everyone and she helps me look for the good especially when I don't want to! She is so talented and funny and I am a better woman for knowing her!

So...lady, I love ya!

You know who you are...

This song is one of my very favorites!

I am one of those weirdos who feels like music speaks to my soul.

Every time I hear this song, I think of you and the example you are

to everyone around you! I know that I have been changed for good!

Thank you!!!!!

I've heard it said

That people come into our lives for a reason

Bringing something we must learn

And we are led

To those who help us most to grow

If we let them

And we help them in return

Well, I don't know if I believe that's true

But I know I'm who I am today

Because I knew you...

Like a comet pulled from orbit

As it passes a sun

Like a stream that meets a boulder

Halfway through the wood

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?

But because I knew you

I have been changed for good

It well may be

That we will never meet again

In this lifetime

So let me say before we part

So much of me

Is made of what I learned from you

You'll be with me

Like a hand print on my heart

And now whatever way our stories end

I know you have re-written mine

By being my friend...

Like a ship blown from its mooring

By a wind off the sea

Like a seed dropped by a sky bird

In a distant wood

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?

But because I knew you

Because I knew you

I have been changed for good

And just to clear the air

I ask forgiveness

For the things I've done you blame me for

But then, I guess we know

There's blame to share

And none of it seems to matter anymore

Like a comet pulled from orbit

As it passes a sun

Like a stream that meets a boulder

Halfway through the wood

Like a ship blown from its mooring

By a wind off the sea

Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood

Who can say if I've been

Changed for the better?

I do believe I have been

Changed for the better

And because I knew you...

Because I knew you...

Because I knew you...

I have been changed for good...
