  • My Tiara

    Last year my best friend did one of the nicest things.  She invited me and some other women for breakfast.  I know that sounds so simple but wait there's more.  In preparation for our attendance she contacted our families and had surprises waiting for us.  When we arrived she decorated her dining room in a matter that would suit a queen.  As we all gathered together she told us that we were all there because we were people that were special to her. She then tried to joke around about how she was going to sell us knives but we all laughed because she is rather opposed to those types of parties.  She had us each individually sit in a "throne' and placed a tiara on our head.  She then read individually to each of us reasons why we are so special to her and the things she admired about us.  She had stories she shared about each one of us.  Needless to say we all had mascara streaming down our faces.   The women in that room represented something special to her.  She then gave us each a gift.  The gift was a binder filled with letters from each of our family members with words of gratitude.  In the binder was also a few games to help us get to know each other.  At the end she had us each write a blessing or something we admired about each person in the binder.  It was one of the nicest moments I've ever had in my life.  It was great to share with women whom I admire greatly. I must say the food was incredible.  She refused to allow any of us to help with clearing the table or dishes.  She wanted us to feel taken care of.  WE did feel taken care of.  I have always been one who feel that it is important to tell people that mean something to you that you value them while you can.  I have seen far too many people in deep sorrow because their loved ones didn't really know how they felt about them.  I will never forget that day. It was an honor to be included with the group of women that came.  I kept my binder and on a really bad day I still walk around the house with my tiara on.
