Several years ago when I used to think about you, I thought about you in pretty much one context: Zach's friend from Coleman. Now when I think about you, which is often, and always with wonder and a smile, I think about you as my friend, and Zach's friend from Coleman, too.
I love that God brought us back together again in an unlikely way, in an unlikely time, and in an unlikely friendshIp that would have been hard for me to imagine as a six year old watching my older brother and his friends hang out in the living room, most likely with a sense of awe on my face.
I'm so glad and thankful for that Starbucks date that reconnected us and strengthened the ties of this friendship we get to call ours. Breakfast and lunch dates with you light me up and bring me so much joy. Our conversations inspire me and leave me feeling capable, confident, and truly known. What a gift it is to leave your people feeling better than before they came to you. Your beauty is all over and even in the midst of frustration or struggle, you still manage to shine and sparkle and illuminate all that's around you. It must be that special Sara thang you got goin' on, and a quality I know you'll never lose in this wild, wild world.
Thank you & I love you.
