As I have always believed that each image tells a beautiful story, these images of Tia Marie tell SO much. So much that I could never put it all to words, but to show the world just how precious she is to me…I am going to try.
From an awkward third grader to an amazing, independent, radiant woman in her thirties, Tia Marie has been my best friend for twenty four years. We have been through just about everything that two friends could go through together. We have had our ups and downs and have even gone through a period of time without speaking. We have seen each other through marriage, divorce, death, accomplishment, loss, distance, kids, dogs, laughter, tears, sickness…just to name a few.
Through it ALL there is one thing that remains the same…we will always be a part of each other’s story! We will always share a common bond that only the two of us could understand. In the story book of life, God intended for the two of us to become friends on that day in third grade as two awkward, skinny girls with glasses shared a moment that has kept us together for twenty four years. There is one thing that is for sure, and that is that no matter where this crazy world takes us, there is NOTHING that will ever change us to the point where we will not always be friends.
Tia Marie, when I look at these beautiful images of you. I see our story as friends and your story as an amazing, independent, radiant woman. I see a woman who like fine wine has only gotten better with age!! I love you and can’t wait to see what God had planned for our next thirty years!!
