Friends

Have you ever met someone who you instantly knew would be your best friend? From the start it felt like you'd know eachother for so long? Well, I have been fortunate enough to have made that kind of connection with a great new friend. We have so much in common, we are both striving to be better daughters of Christ, wives, mothers and friends to others. She is just so crazy sometimes that I kind of want to shake her! Ya know? One of the things I most admire about her is she is PASSIONATE...and the main focus of her passion lately is universal healthcare. It has brought up many strong feeling, on both sides of this issue, within our group of friends. This woman is well educated and has done her research so that she can discuss intelligently this current topic...but all the "discussions" still sound like close-eared arguments to me. I have managed to stay out of it with her, mainly because I value our friendship too much to have it damaged by this. I fully support her right to free speech, her right to her opinion, and her right to use any forum to reflect those. Having said that, just cause you say "No offense" doesn't mean it isn't offensive to someone! Love you sister!!
