Thank you, Crys

I have a wonderful friend.
Her name is Crystal.
She reads my blog faithfully;
probably more than any other.
I doubt I have ever mentioned her.
But his post is written in her honor.

Crystal is a precious friend.
She is 100% low-maintentance.
She is always there.
Listening, talking, laughing, encouraging;
spending time with me;
but never needy; never clingy.

I've thought to myself lately
(and I realize this comment will sound utterly ridiculous)
"you know, I really don't like women".
Now you may think,
"hm, that's weird..she IS a woman"...
True
BUT
there are things that I don't like about myself;
and these can be typical of women.

Needy, clingy, high-maintenance, complicated;
etc., etc., etc.
One reason I love Crys is that she is none of these.
A simple girl. No fluff. Straight to the point.
Easy.
Not feathered by emotions.
Not complicated or hard to "get".
What you see is what you get.

She knows that as friends, and as people,
we can get busy.
We get caught up in our lives.
She understands.
And never expects more than I can give.

She accepts me unconditionally.
Not-judging.
Understanding and loving patiently.

I love her and am so grateful.
Thanks, Crys, for all you do

and for just being you!
I wish I was more like you!
