I'm privileged to say that I have a lot of really amazing friends. I also enjoy saying that I have many best friends who I know will love me and be there for me even when I go completely crazy. *chuckle*
Tracey, Trista, JenLouise, Kim, Lori, AshE, Jeff.
They are probably the greatest friends I have after Mr Indy and Midget (AKA my son). (However, that is NOT discounting all the other truly amazing friends I have!) Some I've known my whole life (or at least the better part of it) and some I've met online. But no matter where we met or how long we've known each other, I know they've got my back and I've got theirs!
That's why I'm writing this blog. I realized just how lousy of a friend I've truly been lately. I didn't call or email on one's birthday. I didn't get to attend one's wedding. No visit with another on her vacation to my state. Don't even get me started on what is going on in their lives that I don't know about because apparently it's quite a bit. *frown*
I totally suck as a friend!
I feel so guilty not knowing what is going on in their lives yet I've been so wrapped up in mine.... getting Midget ready for his new diet, prepping myself to go back to college in September, family issues, etc..... that I haven't taken the time to find out. So when I read something on MySpace about Tracey last night..... I felt like the worst best friend EVER!
This is Tracey. (Isn't she gorgeous?!?)
Tracey and I met on MySpace in 2006 through a mutual acquaintance we had. We hit it off and have been like sisters ever since. Around that same time, Tracey found a lump in her breast. Luckily, it was benign but since then another one has appeared. I didn't know about this new lump nor that Tracey has been trying to find a way to pay for the care she needs! See, Tracey can't afford health insurance because she's a single mom of 2 gorgeous girls (not including me of course *wink*). We all want her around for many, many years to come! That's why she set up a website to tell her story and find generous people that can help her out however they can.
I'll let her site tell you the rest of the story but I'm hoping whoever is out there reading this, might find it in your heart to give whatever you can so she can take care of herself. Not just for her but for her girls! I mean... look at these girls!?! They are definitely going to need their mom around for a long time!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this! I will keep you (whoever you are) updated on Tracey's progress.

I can say nothing more than I love you. *wiping the tears away*
I love you too Tracey and I'm sorry I've been such a crappy friend that I did not know you were going through all of this. I want to do whatever I can and right now, this is all I can do! ((((HUGS))))
You aren't a crappy friend. Just busy. It's ok. (((hugs)))
