Chickee...

 Day 17 of Thanksgiving and I'm thankful for my closest friends...

This is my dear friend Kathryn, known to some as Red, 

I call her Chickee thanks to my son.  

I love her to pieces.  

She's fiesty, and blunt and what you see is what you get.  

She gives me the "ugly" reality check, that everyone's 

either too afraid to say or too kindhearted to lay on me.  

Not Chickee, she will tell it like it is and cry with 

me even if she's the one who made me cry.  LOL!   

I love her honesty.  If I need a real opinion, she'll give it to me. 

She also has a wicked sense of humor. 

You know when you think something in your head, 

but you don't say it out loud? 

Chickee says it out loud.  

I love that about her and wouldn't change her for a second.  

She's gives the most amazing hugs! 

If you ever thought that it was impossible to convey the feelings 

of love and appreciation and joy through a hug, 

then you have not received one from Chickee.  

Her hugs are amazing.  

My favorite thing about Chickee 

that no one would really know unless they gave the friendship time, 

is she is the most thoughtful person.  

She remembers her friends and family throughout her day.  

If she comes across something that reminds her of you, 

she'll get it or she'll call or text and say, thinking of you.  

I love her so much.  

She may be a tough cookie, 

but she reminds me that we all have bad days, 

but she loves me when I have mine 

and I love her when she has hers...however frequent those may be.  :)  

I love you Chickee! 

Thank you for being a genuine friend and a wonderful Aunty to Famani si'i.  We are so blessed to have you as a part of our family.
