And so my number 6 for Monday, is my Jiminy Cricket... that would be my roommate Angie Lusk Byess. To say that I owe her my life would be a very huge understatement. Along with other members of our group, she has been crucially vital to keeping me sane in the last 10 years. From driving my dog from Connecticut to Georgia. helping me move more than once, moving in when the person that was going to watch my daughter decided to back out at the very last minute, to sitting here listening to me at 2 or 3 in the morning trying to make sense of life... It is a wonder that she even comes home when the kids are not here. She has shown to probably be one of the few steady females in my childrens lives. the sad part about that is the fact that we have never dated. she has provided a steady female aspect in not only my childrens lives.... But mine as well. Where my friend Kasey is my emotional conscience, angie is my logical and sociological conscience... She has helped me in so many ways to readjust to civilian life. she has provided much stability for my family and more specifically my daughter over the years than many many people that I know. Stubborn, extremely logical, and down to earth... she helps many people around her daytoday in dealing with sometimes even the most mundane problems, and other times some pretty extravagant ones. always one to have your back. You always know where you stand with her. and even though she sees that as her greatest downfall; many... Myself included, see it as her greatest strength. Through the last 7 years, there have been many ups and downs. losses on both our parts, mutual losses. and through much that we have suffered through... there are many times were Angie has been my rock. a friend that I knew no matter what would turn to me if she needed..... As I turn to her. Through living together, we have definitely proven we would kill each other if we dated... but that does not make our home any less enjoyable, crazy, fun, or less of a place to raise two nut job teenage girls. I can only pray that in time... That Angie will find the life that appreciates her... the way she appreciates life. thank you very much Angie, for being here these last several years for me and my daughter.
