Taco's 30th Birthday Homage

Today is my best friend's 30th birthday.

 Its been a rough year for her.  I guess that is an understatement, its been quite possibly the shittiest year of her life.  But despite that she hasn't given up, she hasn't thrown in the towel and decided to wallow in depression (like I have) and instead has tried to make the best of the situation.   

She has shown me how to be strong when I didn't think it was possible to be, and how to be graceful in the face of a broken heart.  I didn't buy her a traditional birthday card this year, I wanted to write her her own post thanking her for being her and being a constant bright spot in my often cloudy days.

 

Always the life of the party, she makes everyone feel welcome.  We couldn't be more different in the respect, I am the shadiest bitch you will ever meet.  I will sit in the corner all night while she circulates and leaves the
party with 3 new best friends. Dancing the night away, instantly getting to know every knew person there, she is the nicest person you will ever meet.

I'm so happy she moved in with us, having her around is like there's a breath of fresh air in the house.  She spends hours watching crap tv with me and eating junk food, joking with my sister and I.  She mediates arguments and because she's both of our best friends she's the perfect third leg to our tripod. 

I know that these are not the circumstances that any of us would have wanted to have happened for the three of us to end up together but I'm glad that she ended up with us and that we were lucky enough to end up with her.  Things can only get better and I wish nothing more for her than an amazing 30th birthday.  And a year that puts all the previous ones to shame because she deserves nothing less.

Love you taco.
