We first met at an Asian Ward meeting, five minutes into the meeting, we both witnessed something, our eyes met, we both smiled and since then, we hit it off!
Out of all my close friends, I have known Rebecca the shortest. However, she is "the friend" I dreamed to meet. The older sister I never had (although I am a year older.. I think I take longer than the norm to grow up mentally). The friend that balances my extreme emotions with her logic. Still, understand my emotions. It's weird how you can find a friend that shares so many similarities to connect with, yet have different interests that broadens your horizon. Our differences helped me look at the world with a different perspective. Different, but good. One thing I have been working on, repeat, "WORKING ON" is to be more culturally and racially accepting. Thanks to Ms. Wisconsin, the I-am-all-about-diversity, Ms. Logan, UT,I -am-very-sheltered (and will only stick with Asians) slowly is trying to be more open-minded. Still trying... heehee.
Words will not be able to express the love and gratitude I have for Rebecca. In Korean, you call a friend you need on a daily basis a "Vitamin Friend." Just like needing vitamins to tackle the day, I needed Rebecca to get through mine. I think that is what Rebecca is to me. A Vitamin I need every single day to survive. Out of the two years I've known her, two weeks is the most I've spent apart from her and those were AWFUL weeks. I can't even imagine how I'll survive without Rebecca when we move. Dang it.. tears, stop wetting my cheeks! ARGARG..
I thank my Heavenly Father so much for sending me such an amazing friend. The past two years of my life has been unbelievable. Right before Rebecca walked into my life, I was going through some difficult personal issues. When I thought I couldn't make it by myself, what do you know? She walked in. My future seemed so dark but Rebecca walked in with a beam of light. With our growing friendship, I was able to see that the dark and dreary future was in actually dark only because I was choosing to not see the light. I chose concentrate on the small beam of light and focus on it. Shortly after her entrance and our blossoming friendship, great things happened. No, as I decided to make better decisions, things fell into place.From then on, my life has been filled with bountiful blessings and has led me to who I am now. I honestly think Rebecca was my answer to my prayers when I asked God to shed me some light. He certainly did shed some light and sent her in my life. I only wish I was a tenth of what she was to me. She truly stuck with me through thick and thin. Now she is my sister's roommate. My sister need someone like Rebecca. Maybe Rebecca is a guardian angel Heavenly Father sent out for my family. How will we every pay her back for all the good she has brought?
Today is my dearest Rebecca's birthday. I would like everyone (the two people that read this blog) to know how grateful I am to have a friend like her. I would also like to thank my Heavenly Father for sending me someone I truly needed. And, I ask my Heavenly Father to also use me as an instrument for those in need. I would like to be someone's vitamin just like Rebecca is to me. I love you Becca, my "other" other better half! Have a wonderful birthday!
