Tae's Annie.....Best Friends....

I've put off writing this post because I haven't known what to say.....somethings transcend words....and this most certainly does. A friendship that deepened into sisters.... I had prayed for years that God would send "that" friend for Tae......and God send us Annie....someone as passionate as my Tae, whimsical and pure.....

Tae was so excited to share her life in Nicaragua with Annie...so excited. I was able to watch the two of you serve together...literally glowing with the love of Christ. I am so grateful that God granted that last request here on this earth for Tae.....

Annie, from the musical Wicked.....our Tae was a better Tae because of you.....

I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes the sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
(Elphaba):
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
(Glinda):
Because I knew you
(Both):
I have been changed for good

Love you, dear one....to the moon and back and forth.
