PART 2!
This birthday was quieter than most.
No big party. No expectations. Just one of my longest friendships reminding me what it means to truly show up.
Crystal flew in for a few hours just to celebrate with me, then turned right back around and flew home. That kind of love isn’t loud, but it speaks volumes.
@crystalpcomedy We’ve never been the friends who have to talk every day. Life gets busy. Motherhood, work, and everything in between. But every time we’re together, it’s like no time has passed. We laugh until our stomachs hurt, pick up right where we left off, and somehow always leave each other with a full heart.
Watching Robbie spend time with his “TT Crystal” filled me up cause it was so special.
This morning, he was asking about her and again right before bed. That’s the kind of impact you have on people CP. They feel your love long after you’ve gone.
This birthday reminded me of something I’ll carry with me: it’s never about how many people celebrate you. It’s about the people who make sure you know you’re worth celebrating.
Crystal, thank you for always showing up. Thank you for loving me. I’m grateful to do life in your orbit, and even more grateful to call you my LYLAS!!
#iykykLove you!
