Dearest EH,

EH is an individual: part hippy, part grunge, part Broadway, part artist, and a tiny part Midwest. I have a love/hate relationship with her adventurous spirit, though. I love this quality in her when it comes to dancing without inhibitions with me at street dances or raiding her mom's fridge for the homeless man walking around the lake or participating in the legendary "operation: black triangle". I am not so fond of her adventurous spirit, however, when it takes her away from me like 6 years ago to NYC and now, Paris. I say, "What's so great about seeing the world, anyway?"

The thing I love most about my friendship with EH is that months can go by without talking yet one phone call puts us back where we left off. She doesn't shower regularly and this may be another reason we get along so well.

Yesterday was her birthday in all the hustle and bustle of Easter egg hunts and explaining to my family for the fourteenth time what ESL stands for, I didn't get a chance to wish her a Happy Birthday (via blog). So here it is, a date late but just as sincere..

Happy Birthday EH! I love you and miss you terribly.

Let's meet up and eat an apple.

When August is approaching and you feel a little restless thinking about how this month might end and how this year might end and how you are supposed to start again, you are growing, you are growing, in grace courage strength. And it is okay if it does not feel like it. It is okay if there are moments where you cannot see the way you have grown, because far beneath the surface the seeds have still been sown. The ground beneath your feet is still a bed for new beginnings. So much is changing around you but you are changing, too. You are so much more than the brokenness that you were certain would define you. It has not been easy for you. You have worked so hard to be the positive one. You have given your best in areas of your life where the effort was not returned. And this has made it so hard for you to keep going, and there have been days where you were not sure if it was even possible. But after everything, here you are, just a li...
