Please keep me in the collection!<br /><br />ReRe-- Waaaaahhh! Yes, girl! Yes! You know I love me some Team Heyliger--all day every day. I know how busy you are and am deeply touched that you read this blog. *sniffle* Yes, you are one that I have kept and won't ever let loose. :)gradydoctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10639816377218206777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-66014936560888173612011-08-14T21:56:09.335-04:002011-08-14T21:56:09.335-04:00Well KD I know this post was about JoLai but as on...Well KD I know this post was about JoLai but as one of the people that you have kept in your life, you sure are an amazing friend as well. <br /><br />Love ya,<br /><br />Sherrese aka ade's wife and Morgan's mom (I spell these things out because you have been friend throughout all of the major events in my life!

It was a special, magical night made even more special with my big sisters there to share it with me.<br /><br />Kimberly paints such a glowing picture of me, which embarrasses me, but she's right. I'm a total friend hoarder. Sometimes it's probably not such a great thing, because everyone isn't meant to be in your life forever. But my party was one of those times I was glad to be a friend hoarder. I had friends I had known since birth side by side with friends I had met a month ago. That's just how I roll :-)<br /><br />For those who ask how I manage to maintain friendships so long? I'm not sure how I do it... but I started out with 3 best friends right out of the gate. My brother & 2 sisters have always been my 3 best friends, and they will always be my best friends. They are truly the foundation for everything I hold dear when it comes to being a friend. I don't take their friendships for granted (even though we're related.) I work on my relationships with them, and I work on my friendships with others the same way.<br /><br />Thanks again for the kind words!<br />Love,<br />JoLai (aka, The Friend Hoarder)djdjd04https://www.blogger.com/profile/11505371470238707568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-3128543519765917872011-08-14T16:11:59.933-04:002011-08-14T16:11:59.933-04:00i left you a comment earlier but i don't see i...i left you a comment earlier but i don't see it. did blogger eat it? sigh. it's been happening a lot. i wanted to say happy birthday to your sister, and to tell you that you have that magical energy, too.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-70503904328629215152011-08-14T15:15:02.239-04:002011-08-14T15:15:02.239-04:00How can I convince your mom and dad to adopt me?

Or even on the mantle. She must be a truly giving, truly loving person. <br />Not unlike you, dear sister.
