| Description: |
"Ummm, hi there. This is Noelle. I haven't talked to you in a while. Hope all is well." That was about what my opening facebook line was to my best friend. My best friend who I turned my back on 13 years ago. My best friend who I never bothered to try to contact in over a decade to see how she was doing. That was my best friend. And, so the question goes, what did I expect? Nothing really. I have always been a mild loner, so I did not even expect a response.
That day I got a response, but was scared to look because I thought it would be full of profanities about what a witch I was for being so selfish and self determined in the most egotistical way. But, what I got was love. I received a long e-mail that was amazing and heartfelt and beautiful. I wondered why I deserved such grace, and still so do wonder often why I have a best friend who is the epitome of an arabesque on the point of a pin. She is graceful, steady, intelligent, and beautiful.
She is so smart, yet at the same time never uses against a person, but rather to help that person. When I told her why I disappeared 13 years ago, she never hemmed to try to fine the appropriate answer, she simply conversed with me as if that kind of thing happened ever day, but not to be confused with simple dialogue, she was sharp as a tack and the counsel she gave me will stick with me until the day I pass from this earth. She is courageous. She is courageous to have a friend like me and invest in me again and not take a second look back. I want to say she is the best thing, the best person in the world, but how trite that would sound, it would almost be wounding. She is more than the the best in the world; she is the most unique and caring and fearless in the world.
There were times when I knew her 13 years ago when she saved my life, both figuratively and metaphorically, but now, now, as she has chosen to walk this path with me again she has saved my life beyond a point of measure that is to infinite to measure. She has come back into my life, no questions asked, true unconditional love, and as such she has come back into my soul. She has taken my hand and said, "'Come, it's okay to live....I'lll show you how to again." To that I say, I love her. To her I say, I love you. |
