At times, life throws curves at you that you never expect.
Three years ago I met a great friend who inspired me to be the best that I could. She was a great example of love and faith. Over the past two years I have tried and tried again to contact her. I even blogged about her in February when I spoke in church on forgivness.
Today she responded.
It hurts to know you are unwanted. It hurts to know that friendship is conditional. It hurts. But it will be alright. I am grateful for the Atonement. I am grateful that this wound will heal. I am grateful for the most wonderful, loving, and caring husband in the world who is here to help me through this.

Sorry to hear that McKenzie. You're a wonderful friend and anyone is lucky to have you! I was sure fortunate to have you as a roommate because I never would have met Jim if you hadn't invited me to come and hang out with you at the DC reunion.
Oh McKenzie! I'm so sorry! That is so sad but I'm glad to know you're so optimistic and grateful anyways! I love you, even though we don't really see each other or talk. I'll always remember the way we used to hang out when we were freshmen! :) I love ya! It was fun to see you for a few minutes at Walmart and meet your husband!
Kenz, I can totally understand where you are coming from. I have had more than one friend do that to me and someone put it into perspective for me once. People come into your life at certain periods of your life for a reason. Whether they helped you change, become a better person, or taught you something. But then sometimes those people fade out of your life, whether by your choice or theirs. You probably don't NEED them anymore like you did then. Our lives change and go different directions and we become different people so what pulled us to someone before doesn't anymore. So, I like to think of it this way. We both became different people and have different needs now. That helps me take it not so hard and makes it a little easier to swallow than the rejection it feels like! I hope this helps you like it helped me.
Oh, Kenz. My heart hurts for you. I cried a little for you. I'm so sorry.
Thank you so much for offering to help find my kitty a home! We found one for her, and she will be well taken care of. Much love
hmmmm...I know it doesn't really matter WHO, but I probably do,and I'm sorry that it still hurts so much. I love you so much. You have truly been a wonderful friend. I'm glad life threw us together so many times. :D I think the Lord knew more than I did, that I needed a good friend like you in my life.
