Thankful part 2

So, as I put in my last post, I will continue my 4 part blog with things I am thankful for in my life.

So this blog I dedicate to my friends. As I am reflecting over my 30 years on this Earth, I have realized I am truly blessed with some absolutely amazing friends.

Most people have people that are around when things are going good and are their best buddy when things are going great. The true measure of a friend is when things are not so awesome or when you hit rock bottom. True friends jump down in the pit and help show you the way out

My friends that I have amassed over my lifetime are true friends. I will share a couple of stories about how amazing they are and that time doesn't matter in between conversations.

The most recent story took place on May 25,2011. A tornado tore through Sedalia, and destroyed my home, the center if my world for 23 years. I had so many memories that took place there that I felt like a part of my heart had been ripped out.

That day, without a phone call or being asked to, my friends went to check up on my mother and report details to me and other family members. The next day was even more amazing.

The next day, not only did my closest friends so up to help get the salvageable items out of her house, but friends I hadn't talked to in 10 years showed up to help out as well. I want to give a special thanks to Seth Kakuske, for helping out. I hadn't seen or talked to him for 11 years and he was there to help

That day changed how I viewed the tornado, and started this slow change I have been on to discovering a better me. So thank you to all of my friends. I am truly blessed to have you in my life. Whether I see you tomorrow, this week or not for 10 years, you are my friend and I thank you for that gift.

I realized that my home and my heart weren't made of wood and bricks, but with these amazing people I get to call my friends. These people who stop what they are doing to help others in need. That is the true friendship and love that everyone needs in their life.
