I met Kristen a few years into college.
She was the perfect combination of gentle/silly/fun/loving.
She always helped me when I needed her.
Especially the night I had a formal event I was attending--
She found me a formal dress and even did my hair/makeup.
Talk about a doll, because I am no girly-girl.
And she was so loyal. I knew that no matter what, she always had my back.
We definitely had our differences...I even started dating her ex-boyfriend at one point.
We all lived in the same apartment complex...Yikes!
But somehow we all got along.
She was so easy to be around and fun to spend time with.
I loved that girl..and that time of my life.
Those were the golden years for me.
The last 5 years since she passed away have flown by.
I miss her and think about her often.
I think about her family too..
Her young husband, her darling parents, her sweet nieces and siblings.
Oh my heart still aches for them. And it longs for her.
I've had a lot of dreams about Kristen lately---
we're always hanging out, hiking, swimming, chatting....they feel like summertime.
We seem to have all the time in the world, it leaves me feeling at peace.
I had one of these peaceful dreams 2 nights ago...
I woke up and sent her sis a Facebook message asking when Kristen's bday was.
(sorry about the 2am inquiry Michelle!)
December 14th is her birthday, she would've been 28 today.
I feel like she places herself into my dreams somehow.
Maybe she doesn't want to be forgotten....or maybe she's my guardian angel.
Who even knows, but I'm grateful for it.
I need to figure out a way to celebrate her birthday.
hmmm...well this post is a start!
Happy Birthday Kristen!
I sure do love you!
