I think it's pretty rare that you find a friend that you totally click with. When I met Heidi, we bonded over both needing to get our blonde highlights redone (Italy kind of sucked at blonde), and a pretty instant friendship blossomed in that moment. Cue the loneliness of deployment, and you could often find the two of us drinking a cappuccino from Pino, perusing the shelves of the PX, or talking about the most random topics. We literally did everything together (sometimes while accidentally wearing matching outfits).
I am seriously so lucky to have a BFF that puts up with my crazy and totally "gets me". Though I will admit, I'm a little sad that Ft. Bragg is so far away, I'm crossing my fingers that The Dynamic Duo will get stationed at the same place again, because the world is just better when the two of us are plotting something together.
Heidi, you've been the best friend in the world! You're one of the kindest, most patient, generous people I know, and I'm lucky to have you as a model to follow. You're a great mommy to the cutest little baby, and Donovan's lucky to have you as his wife. Thanks for always being there for me! Happy happy happy happy birthday to you!!
