All I can say is that it's a dang good thing that we have them. I don't know about you, but it seems like all over there is heartache, tough stuff and sometimes, even tougher stuff. My friends have been getting dished their fair share lately and my heart just breaks for them sometimes. The good news is:
They are strong people
They are more than capable
and with their faith rooted firmly where it should be, they can handle anything this world throws at them.
I'm a lucky girl to get to see their strength and just how amazing they truly are, both inside and out. Every time I get down because I missed ANOTHER swim workout or just don't feel great on a run I think of how many people in this world are going through things that are 100% harder so I better just buck up and stop feeling sorry for myself.
We're ALL balancing a million things and trying to keep things in perspective. I feel thankful that I can have friends that I know will be with me for life!

Well said. Hope the speech went well.
And they pick you up when you crash your bike in the middle of BFE and sit in the emergency room for 11 hours.
I hope you don't mind me saying this, but you are my inspiration/motivation for getting into runs, triathalons, etc. If only I could get my doggie paddle faster I could place in the swimming portion. (I'm a guy, if that's ok)
