My friend Corrin.

In June 2002 I was 9 months pregnant and it was HOT! I had a job that depended on me and my sister (who was also very pregnant) to take care of everything. We were at the end of our ropes...needed someone who knew the business to take over...prayed and prayed for God to send us a really great person who could take care of everything :) In walked Corrin. Fully prepared to start working that minute.

Over the past 7 1/2 years she has been with me through thick and thin.
I had the baby and she was there.
I moved into my house and she was there.
We played bingo.
She graduated college and introduced me to the Cheesecake Factory.
She moved to Indy and we kept in touch.
She went to England and brought me back a beautiful rosary.
I had another baby and she announced...I am moving to Texas.
We went to Blogher and stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel with Nemo.
On January 14th, 2010 we had lunch together and she moved away.

If this was any one else I would have taken it with a grain of salt and moved on with my day but Corrin...she doesn't just talk about stuff...she gets it done. So she really is leaving and I can't help but feel sad. Friendships these days are not what they used to be, nearly 8 years is a long time to be friends. Corrin and I are VERY different people who if we met on the street wouldn't even stop to chat BUT we know each other, accept each other and love each other. She is a friend to my children and my husband quite enjoys her also. She has been there for me anytime I needed anything, she was right there to offer her helping hand. I am going to miss her so much :( Things just won't be the same in Indiana without her and WATCH OUT Texas!!

Farewell friend. Hurry back! Good luck! I love you and you better know that!!
