this one's for you

thank you for the conversation marathons on anything that comes to mind.
for the listening ear and for sharing your thoughts, too.
for cracking a joke at exactly the right time. there is never a dull moment with you.
for being patient with my shortcomings.
for being generous with praise.
for remembering important things.
for being good about keeping secrets and trusting me with yours.
for making time for important things.
for making wise decisions.
for keeping me up-to-date.
for making a boring day fun.
for coming up with the best ideas.
for keeping in touch even when we have 37 projects between the two of us.
for making me feel that i'm never alone. i can always run to you. and you to me.
thank you my dear friend.
