She's a Keeper

My Mary. 

OH boy. I do not even know where to start. 

How about the numerous times that i have called her crying(lets be real..it happens all the time) and she drops everything for me and drives over ASAP. What about all the times she has taken me places when i had no car. Wait! what about all the times when i have felt totally worthless and she has been there telling me that i'm wrong. And all the Togo lunch dates. The times when EVEN though she is with her Boyfriend, she still comes and comforts me. What about the day that Max died. Who was the first person to offer their house to me? Who hugged me while i cried my eyes out after drama? Who has taken time and love out of their life the most, recently to prove to me that i am worth it and that i am a good friend?

Oh shoot- i have to go with Mary. 

Mary, if you are reading this(you better be!) i want you to know how much i love you. You are an amazing friend through and through(ew that was way to cliche). I swear you do not see how much you mean to everyone whose life you touch. Just the simplest things like posting a quote on my fb. or texting me "ilove you" those things prove to me that you care for real, not just because you are "friends" and you feel obligated. Mary, you are a spectacular friend and DON'T LET ANYONE ELSE TELL YOU OTHERWISE! 

One of my most favorite things about Mary is her love for others. She is glowing with love! One day just stands out so bright to me. We were on our way to Jamba Juice and my current boyfriend called me. My heart stopped, eyes filled to the brim. I hung up. And was now single. I tried to pull myself together, but that was not happening anytime soon. She called her boyfriend, told him to change my face book status, then to erase it from my wall to prevent talk. Then she drove me, mascara down my cheeks, red puffy eyes home where she then stayed with me all afternoon, we went to Tip n' Toe and then she spent the night with me. NEVER once did she even think about leaving me. But that is just Mary. She wont ever leave. 
That can be a negative thing though, love. 
Sometimes you let people use you. So this is my pledge to you to love you unconditionally as best i can. to not walk all over you and to treat you how you are supposed to be treated! 
I am so proud of you,lovely, for standing up for yourself.
