Sometimes we are blessed with many friends, sometimes just a few... but If we all had just one friend...I would want mine to be Stephanie Miller..She is by far the very best friend anyone could ever want, or need.
.
I lived across the street from her for over 3 years before we really became friends..but once we did...we became very close..very fast. Little did I know then that God was preparing me for a tragedy that without her to lean on..I never would have survived. She is someone I can call at 2 o'clock in the afternoon....or 2'oclock in the morning and she will come running to help me, or just to listen to me scream or cry.......
when I lost my little sister Whitney in Feb of 2011, Stephanie never left my side.. she was right there with me...at the hospital, before...during..and after the funeral.. I really believe this is why god put her in my life..He knew I would never make it through my sisters death without her... and It is true...I never woulda... In Oct of 2010 she moved from across the street from me...to Murfreesboro about 25 miles away...I thought my world was ending.. that she would be gone and we would drift apart...she promised mr nothing would change..and true to her word...a year later nothing has..if anything we are closer now than ever before..her husband even has a nickname for us...
The Banger Sisters... we even had hats made...we have since shortened it to the B's ..We spend at least one day a week together.. it's not the same as when she lived right here and we were together everyday..but..it is not much different either... She is always,always here for me...and my son..who thinks of her as a second mother.. she is such a good , kind big hearted person. I am so very thankful for her...I only hope she knows how much she means to me.. I try my best to be there for her too...but I'm not sure I am as good at it as she is.. I had a health scare in 2009 and she was right there, never left my side....I have a issue with eating...I don't do it....lol.. but she tries her best to MAKE me when we r together.. see a few years ago I weighed over 150 pounds, and I felt awful about myself... Now... after my Seizure and Epilepsy diagnosis in 2009 I am down to 105 and am so scared of ever being heavy again...150 does not sound like alot, but on a 5'3" gal..it is alot.. Steph tries to make sure I eat ALOT when I am with her...lol..she will drive way out of her way to get me something I "want" .. We went to a UT game for my 33rd bday...my first UT game since 1994... it was so much fun..She is the ONLY person I can spend hours with,not say a word...and we both know what the other is feeling...and it's not weird just hangin out without talkin.. I have even brought her outta her shell =0) we have been up on the bar at Coyote Ugly...someting I never thought I'd see her do...We went back for my 33rd birthday a month ago...and had a blast again..we have so much fun together....
When we are at her house....we spend our time with Jose in the hottub...just hangin out..while our "men" watch movies and fall asleep
and yes...we did finish this whole bottle in one night....Just the two of us...our sissy men...drink Budlight we are real women...we don't play around when it comes to drinkin
we kinda forgot to mix it with the Margarita mix though....and ended up drinkin straight Jose..one think I can say..If you are ever blessed enough to have a BEST FRIEND like mine...love em and cherish em and THANK GOD for em....I love ya B!!
