She is your modern day, real life, Superwoman… only with red hair. Her heart is so big and so warm that I sometimes don’t understand how she’s even human. She is one of the busiest people I know, yet has time for everyone in her life that she loves and even those that are hard to love. My wish is that one day I would have maybe half the amount of compassion and work ethic she contains. Have you ever known someone who you just know you’ll be friends with forever? She is totally that person. I am so blessed to have not only an incredible best friend but at the same time, a beautiful role model in my life for the past 8 years… And she isn’t going ANYWHERE.
The picture is almost clear when I imagine us in our 80’s, sitting on the front porch in our rocking chairs, laughing about absolutely nothing and enjoying a virgin pina colada… because the real ones are gross. After Jesus, she is my sanity. She knows exactly when to make you laugh, uplift your soul, give you the perfect yet painful advice, and when to stop everything and just listen. Her zest for life is matchless…she never misses a moment. She is extremely generous and selfless, which is something so many people lack these days. She has her priorities set straighter than a line. God, family, friends, school, work.
You’ve probably seen her on that white and pink beach bike of hers with her long red hair blowing in the wind, most likely wearing the cutest, most well put-together outfit you’ve ever seen, and talking on the phone while waving to every other person on Chancellor’s Walk. This redhead is one of a kind and I cannot wait to live life forever with her. I want everyone to meet my Megan. She’ll give you guys a firm handshake and you ladies a sincere hug around your neck. You will notice almost immediately how Jesus shines through her big, beautiful smile.
Sometimes I don't understand how or why God is so good to me. I truly have no idea where I would be without this sister in Christ. The Lord has always blessed me immensely in the area of friendship. He surrounds me with joyful, encouraging, beautiful people who love Him with all their lives. I am so grateful for Miss Megan Suriano and I can only pray that one day every person will have a friend like her.
Wow ,this blog is so beautiful. I will keep my eyes peeled for her bike. :) I too have a friend like your Megan. She is a bright woman of God, who know just what to say at precisely the time I am about to fall apart. I don't have the luxury of her physical presence; she lives in SC. She will be here this Wednesday to visit, and we are going to a Clint Brown concert at my church. I have one thought to share with you. make sure you don't ever take for granted that she is right here with you. I remember when I lived near Ashley, and there were times I blew her off for stupid stuff. I wish I hadn't now. I would give anything to have her living right here in Jacksonville. You are so blessed to have such a close friend just an arm's length away!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet blog! It is awesome that there is someone like Megan these days. It is rare to find someone so awesome in today's life which is so very sad. You are very lucky to have such a good friend! This blog made me smile the whole time I was reading it because I know both of you are great people and it is very sweet that you would write such powerful and sweet words about your friend.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky! Your friend sounds like an amazing person. This makes me miss my best friend from home even more, which is barely possible! A lot of people are not lucky enough to have a best friend like yours. Not only is Megan a great friend but she seems to be a very respectable individual. Now I want to call my friend.
ReplyDeleteNot only do you have a great best friend, but YOU are a wonderful friend for choosing to write such wonderful things about her. How blessed you guys both are to be in each others lives. Friends like Megan are truly once in a lifetime. But if you find the right friend, once is enough : ) The great description you gave truly shows how close you guys are; and that's amazingly special! I'm sure you guys will have awesome memories together for years to come.
