I have one of the sweetest girls in the world as one of my best friends.  We went to the mall yesterday and just window shopped.  We ended up getting matching American flag socks, and she helped me pick out some hairbands at Forever 21.  I made her try one about 20 different hats, and she giggled when I tried them on as well.  We talked about her boyfriends- she has TWO- and I asked her for her wisdom because I have none.  We talked about friends and family and cute boys we had seen.  We took pictures, and then we went to dinner at some restaurant.  On the way home, we had quite a dance party with some Taylor Swift and One Direction (whatever they're younger than me and have good music).  It was seriously so much fun.

This beautiful girl, however, wasn't supposed to be alive.  Her doctors said she would live until maybe two, but lucky for me and everyone she's ever encountered, that certainly is not the case.  She's such a blessing, and she's one of my best friends.
