You're All Important!

As I was perusing facebook the other day, catching up on all the “goings-ons” of all the people dear to me, I got to thinking. Am I being honest on my friend collection? Are all these people really friends? I delete my facebook account about 10 months or so. The bad news is sometimes, it takes a lot of time to regain all the friends I had. There are some notable missing people on this list. I noticed some people very close to me have over 1000 friends. Not sure what I would do with 1000 friends. I looked at my list and I am proud to say EVERYONE on it has a special place in my heart. And I’m gonna prove it by numbering y’all and letting you figure out what number you are. I’d like to see if you remember what I do. So look over the list. What number are you? I may use names that you would know as well. It is important to note that the numbers are not necessarily in alphabetical order nor order of importance except for the 1st two plus.

1. You are my whole world. You saved me from myself and I cannot imagine not having you in my life. We haven’t known each other as long as a lot of people on this list, but I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

2a. You forced me to grow up, and it was needed. I am so proud of the man you are growing into. I do not love another man as much as I love you, but your sons will come close.

2b. I was looking thru my stuff the other day and found a letter you wrote the tooth fairy saying you lost a tooth and it fell behind you bed and you’d like to receive credit for it as well as this one. I cannot tell you how much you mean to me.

2c. You’re the one who most closely resembles my personality. I was getting the dirty clothes out of your room once and found a piece of paper (maybe it was a note) describing your first “real” kiss. My heart sank. NOBODY will ever love you as much as DLY!

5. McA! What I remember most about you is you ALWAYS had a camera and took bunches of pictures back in the day!
6. You are so strong for your small frame. I admire the way you juggle job/family.
