Besties Are The Best

I'm feeling really grateful today for my friends and I want to give them a shout-out to tell them how amazing they are.  I couldn't have made it through the past year without a group of very special people - they're family that are not actually related (except for one).

So, to Amy, Erin, Lindsay, Amber, Stephanie, Travis and my sister Cristy....THANK YOU so much for all of your help. 

Amy for being ready to drop a husband, two kids and a menagerie of pets to jump on a plane at a moments notice and for convincing me to start this blog.  To Erin for always being there to talk to and for bringing humour to every situation.  To Linds for always treating me like I'm healthy, whether I am or not.  To Amber for keeping my social life alive when I feel like hibernating.  To Stephanie for being my MS counsellor and support-system through all of the B.S.  To Travis for giving up time with my sister to drive me to the hospital, hold me up so I don't fall and being supportive always.  Last but certainly not least, to my sister Cristy, for moving in with me when I couldn't do much of anything.  For taking care of me, my home, my pets and my sanity.

No matter how much I want to be independent and not ask for help, I realize that I have an amazing support system and I do need them in sickness and in health.  So, thank you to all of my friends, listed and not listed; you're a wonderful group of people and I'm sending you all of my love and gratitude.

Hugs & Kisses, Ali. xoxo
