My sweet friend, knowing I don't have the cash flow to go get the salon highlighting I really needed, offered to highlight my hair. I offered the warning several times that my hair has a red base to it (hey...my mom was Irish!) and the over-the-counter things never work on me, but she assured me this would.
Long story short...Hi...I'm Terri ...aka. Ms. Heat Miser.
Kelley is devastated at my new shade. And while I was shocked at my hair, to say the least, I was never mad at her. Hardly! She was trying to help me and was being a great friend in doing so. So Kel....get over it!
As if I didn't already know, this past week and a half has shown me just how many amazing friends I have. They are all a phone call away. No exceptions. Several have said, "Hey you never know, I can't imagine it, but I could be in your shoes one day." And while I wouldn't wish it on anyone, you can bet I will be there if and when needed.
They helped me move. They offered help with the kids. Offered to grocery shop for me. I even now have the most beautiful Christmas wreath I've ever owned. Call just to check in or text a little, "I'm thinking of you! Let me know if you need anything!". They know my schedule is hectic right now and offer help...and excuse it when I seem to forget my own schedule since scatterbrained doesn't nearly seem to suffice my lack of calendar-skills these days. I'm embarrassed and they just laugh it off saying, "Whatever!". I've got a learning curve to deal with, that's for sure.
I'm deeply blessed to have these women in my life and be able to call them my "friends". Some have become more than that. They're more like family.
Thank you from the very bottom of my heart for loving me and being in my life. I will always, always be here for you. I'm just a phone call away.
You'll know me by the flaming red hair heading your general direction! Hahahaha! (Hopefully, not for much longer...)
