RENEE
Dear Renee where do I start to tell you how I feel about our friendship, there is a saying that "A friend is someone who walks in when the whole world walks out" That is how I feel about you and me. You have stuck it out with me through so much. After my car accident when I found out that all those people that I thought where my friends weren't, you where there for me all the way. When I locked myself in my house after the wreck I felt like I lost everything you never gave up on me like everyone else did. I know I was such a bubbly person before that day and we had so much fun and great memories, but after that happened I shut all the doors behind me when someone called me to do something I would always say yes and when that day came I had some excuse not to go, after awhile they gave up on me, you never did you would be knocking at my door and listen to me poor out my heart about how I felt about the divorce, the loss of my job, all my injury's, and my fear of leaving the house or driving, they where pity party's for sure and you just let me talk, we laughed, and we cryed, I can't believe you have stuck by me through all this but then again that's why your my best friend in the whole world. You always tell me the truth when I get out of hand, when I tryed to kill myself after the wreck because of Bill dying that day which so rocked my world and especially since my then husband called me a murderer you still stood by me you didn't judge me you just loved me through it, I would be so lost without you in my life, So many people tryed to judge me for how I felt and why I did that and so many other stupid things because I wanted to be punished, (you know what I mean) but you never did judge me for any of it, you have convinced me it was not my fault I did not leave my house with any intention of hurting anyone, thanks for convincing me of that. It had to be hard listening over and over how I killed Bill..it was his fault he didn't stop at the stop sign and I hit him that's all, I am not sure I will totally get over it but I know if I am feeling down and when the anniversary of that day comes up you will let me cry if thats what I want and you'll listen to me. Your always there listening to my problems I hope I have in your eyes been there for you as much as you have for me, I sure have tryed you have been through so much yourself thats probably why we get along so well when your going thru a rough patch I am there for you, like when you have been in the hospital for your heart problems I won't leave you by yourself, I want to be there for you as you have for me..remember when I had my last total knee replacement and you spent the week with me, through all the pain it was fun and when I stayed with you after your heart attack and stroke I stayed with you they where bad times but through it all we managed to laugh...Now that the bad at least the most of it has gone we always have a great time together like last week when you stayed at my house and we went to silver dollar city and rode all the rollar coaster's that was so much fun lets do it again soon... I know there will be good and bad times in our life t come but I also know we will be there for each other holding who ever needs it at the time, you'll never really know how much your friendship means to me I would be lost without you, they say you can't pick your family but you can pick your friends and I am glad I picked you..I love you Renee!!!!

What we have not done together its been crazy, we raised our kids together and laughed all the way through it, Thanks for being there for me when I was in my abusive marriage and the way you told me to get out alive before he killed me, I remember telling you if I ever come up missing have them check the outdoor wood stove because thats where I would be..you thought I was crazy for staying and I was, the other day when we where talking with Lou and Renee trying to get her moved and we couldn't get her to get rid of anything and you said you remembered me saying why I stayed in that mess was because of my stuff...am I crazy or what? that really made me think about whats important in life..its good friends like you..laughter and fun, I can't wait to see what the next 24 or more years have in store for us I am sure it will be good, thanks for being the oldest bridesmaid alive..LOL for me, can you believe its almost been a year and I still love him and he treats me good, like a princess..:-) Come see me soon so we can get into some kind of trouble, I am sure Renee will come too and oh what we can find to do it will be like a slumber party, never change Mel you are one of a kind, that take charge kinda girl that I love so much just think when we are old and gray the memories we will have to reminisce about, I imagine you and I in rocking chairs in the old folks home drinking a beer and hitting on the old men there, can't believe I just said that..love you Mel!!!
