What can I say about this 5'10 hazel green eyed, light brown headed wonder? I could say that she is the most amazing person in the world and that God had his head in the right place when he created, what I think, his finest creation. Or I could say that no matter where I am in my life, Erica seems to be just right there...right by my side. Through dark and light. Hot and cold. She is my security blanket of sorts.

When I am low and feeling as if nothing in the world is going right. Who is there to tell me that everything is fine and that I am worth living? Erica.

 

I guess you could say...shes my little saint.

My real life "Peter Pan" always telling me that if I want something bad enough...and if I keep thinking positively.......I can fly.

 

Erica,

Id like to express something to you that I think perhaps Ive been neglecting to say. I love you.

I mean...I honestly hold you close to my heart. Youve become this strength in me that never fades. No matter how much shoitcycle goes on in my life...Ive got this hold on my heart.

You brought God back into me.

I know that may not be a big deal to some people. But, I was really losing him. I think, for a time, in between all my troubles with David. I did lose him.

But Erica, you brought him back in me. And for that I thank you.

 

May God always grace your life. And may he grace mine....with you.

I love you.

Regina Reyna.

Regina is my best friend, as well as Erica. Thats right. I have more than one. In fact as you have seen..

 

But, Regina. Regina is my down to earth...stuck with 'till we drop....best friend. We live in the same apts. and have been through hell and high water. Each in different areas in our lives. But, gone through it none the same.

 

Regina has helped me a lot. Maybe not as much as Erica. But, Regina has helped me calm myself. She gives me the courage to face my troubles head on. Not slink off to the side and hide.

 

I think she armed me mentally. Shes helped me train myself to not fear what may happen, but instead.....just "role with the punches".

 

Thats what I like about her. Shes always so sure of herself and of where she is going in life. When I ask my doubtful questions....she seems to be able to ignore the lingering fear and pounce right on the GOOD in every possible situation. (minus her getting a job..she seems rather doubtful about that)

 

Regina,

Let me explain something to you. I know, first hand, that you dont like this mushy crap. But you have to realize I am an aquarius. This is a part of me. I know you are a Taurus and with that you hold this 'bullheaded' approach to life. But...I have to tell you that I love you.

 

As a sister. You are in my heart..and will be forever.

 

I think we get along...mainly..because we are so different.

 

You are my muse.

 

Always guiding me and sparking something in me that I cant escape.

 

I hope God will bless you like hes blessed no one before. Because, you deserve it. You deserve everything that youve ever wanted...and if I can help in giving you a dream....God knows Id do so.

 

Thank you so much for being there for me....and I hope...I just pray that Ive been just as good of a friend to you as youve been to me.

Sarah Hicks.

I must admitt. This new addition to my life has been for the best. Of course Ive known Sarah since nineth grade, but Ive never truly cared for her. She was always the loud, kind of annoying girl that hung out with Erica.

 

To be honest, I never thought Id consider her someone who I couldnt live without.

But it happened.

 

It happened relatively fast. Just BAM! Then it hit me....I loved her just as much as I loved Erica.

 

We may not have countless stories to tell about our relationship. But we have countless stories to come. I believe in my whole heart that she will be the side of me that makes me smile in my dark days.

 

We are so much alike me and her. And I never realized it until I sat down and stared at her. I watched her react to people....talk to people....and then I smiled. Because she was there the whole time. Helping me without me realizing it.

 

Sarah,

You know I love you right? Youre the rays to my sun. Always shining down on me...making me feel unique, wanted, loved. I swear...without you I wouldnt smile half the time.

 

I know Ive been rude to you in the past. I know that we have our moments of complete and utter...misunderstandings. But, you are my Hicks. You are my dingle-berry. <---for lack of a better word

 

I hope you and I can continue down this path of friendship. We have our whole lives ahead of us....and I cannot wait to see what God has in store for the two of us.

 

God bless you.

Raquel,

 

I know there is quite a bit of distance between us. Only a few hundred miles...but it seems like no matter how far you go...you are always in my head. You make me something I never dreamt of before.

 

You keep reminding me...that even I am worth something. Its funny that you can give me that...when Im the one who is always trying to make other people realize that they are worth something.

 

You keep making me listen to my own advice. When I am completely deaf to it.

 

Man, sis...you are someone I will never and can never forget. You are my Rach....my buddy..my sister.

 

I love you because you are who you are...and I dont care what people say...you are worth every ounce of air you breathe.....

 

I love you.

Im telling you now that yoou cannot be as lucky as I am....

I have the best luck in the world, and perhaps  I just realized it....

 

I am the luckiest girl alive.

 

 I have the best friends anyone could ask for.

 

I love them all so much and would PROUDLY...lay my life on the line for them. Without hesitation. Id do it. And Id never ask them to do the same...in fear that they may get hurt.

 

GOD BLESS you ALL!

 

I love yall.
