Seriously...
Friend, you walked into the point of my life where I was in need of a heart friend. Someone I could be me with. Someone who cared enough to tell me like it is. Someone with whom, just about any subject could be discussed.
Kristi is awesome. She's the person who you call when you want a travel buddy, and the person you call when you need a beer after a long day. She gives selflessly. She makes me laugh. She has courage that I admire. She is beautiful.
We've had some of the best conversations on buses, over coffee, on the phone after a long day. In a land where saving face is important, I don't have to save face with Kristi. She knows that life comes with the kinds of broken heartedness, that needs of vulnerability to let healing happen.
And I write this knowing that my beautiful friend seems to find herself in second place perpetually. So this is for her than for anyone else who may read this:
Kristi, you are the most kind and generous person I know. You are Ruth of the Bible, in how you serve and love people. Don't shrug off others' kinds words for you. They are true. Never apologize for who you are. Who you are gives life to others. Who you are is a masterpiece. Who you are is the apple of His eye.
