yeah, okay, i took heather's title, but I was planning on that title for a week. And I couldn't think of another one. I fail. Sorry, Heather. I'm trying to come up with the perfect words, but I can't. You're the one that's good at that. I haven't read Heather's blog yet but I'm sure I'm just repeating everything she said in words that aren't as pretty (which would be why i haven't read it yet). But I'm trying. So here goes.
Emilea, you are probably the kindest person I know. You are so great and wonderful and just so nice. And it's funny, because you are hundreds of miles away, but it doesn't feel like it. You are so there for me in spirit that the gap is bridged. I think that you're a better friend to me than almost anyone who is here all the time. I'm so lucky that I met you two years ago, because without you it would have been way harder (way impossible) for me to get through any of the tiny obstacles of the past year and a half. It doesn't matter what kind of psychotic email or blog post I throw at you- you've always got the perfect words to make me laugh or smile or stop hurting or slap myself and grow up and deal, even if they are Chris Martin's and not yours. And you do tell me to grow up and deal, in kinder words, which is important. So many people will just give you a hug and a pity party, and that's nice, but it takes a real friend and a strong person to tell you to stop feeling sorry for yourself and move on.
Also, you're just an incredible person in general. You are strong and beautiful and a genius and funny and one of the best writers I've ever met. I seriously wish I had your poise and your confidence and your talent and.... you just rock. You just do. You rofl my waffles. I love you so, so, so, so, so much. And even if I wrote this blog for hours and hours I don't have, I couldn't possibly communicate how much.
And if I get into Governor's School, being your adopted sister will be one of the best things about it.
Have a wonderaculous and beautiful and awesome birthday.
Something fantastic coming your way as soon as I can work out the details.
Love, Caroline
we love you very very very very very very very much.

i don't even know...i don't know how to say that you are, that this is, the best gift. you have always made me feel a thousand times better than before i talked to you. you have always made me laugh and just feel better. like, good tomato soup (the ones with the cheesy croutons) or a fudge brownie with ice cream. you just give me such a peace in knowing that there's someone out there who gets it we are just family, and this post just made me cry.
so thank you. thank you for making me feel so incredibly special and loved. : - ) i love you!!!!!
