Day 18
I am grateful for Brooke. I am so glad that I've remained friends with her, even after I moved. I love that I've known her son, Hayden since he was tiny. I love that my boys have that connection with him: they've been friends since they were babies. I love that Brooke says exactly what she is thinking, when she is thinking it. She doesn't mince words. The funny thing about Brooke is that she is so gorgeous and put together and quite frankly, very intimidating; but then you get to know her and you see how quirky and sassy she is. She doesn't give herself enough credit. I would love to have half the energy she does. She does so much to keep her family going and I admire her for being as strong as she is. I am grateful that nearly 7 years ago her husband had the guts to walk up to Kendrick and say, "You're wife is my wife's visiting teaching partner. But she has never been a visiting teacher before. Would your wife be willing to help her?" That is how we became friends. I think it is so cool that we owe our friendship to visiting teaching. Brooke, I love you and I am so grateful for you!
