A well deserved tribute

It is only appropriate that I take a moment to tip my hat to my friend, my co-pilot, and my biggest fan.  In actuality, words on a page are far from the credit that she deserves for being such an amazing friend, but, then again, no gesture of thanks would be ample to show her how much I appreciate her.  Sarah Mullins, you are one of a kind and I often wonder how I would do life without you.  Better yet, I wonder how I would have done this trip from NC to TX without you. 

Thank you from the bottom of this little heart of mine for loving me so well.  Thank you for driving half way across the country with me.  Thank you for brining a wireless card so I could have internet access the entire time.  Thank you for always getting me a cup of ice with a top and a straw at every gas station.  Thank you for taking picutres and documenting everything we did so that my family and friends could be updated every hour.  Thank you for letting me listen to a lot of country music.  Thank you for driving around Dallas so I could look around.  Thank you for being up for anything--hanging out with a gang member or going to a high school tennis match.  Thank you, most of all, for believing in me. 

Your selflessness and generosity go beyond words, but you know that I am ever so thankful for you being just the way that you are.  God did something incredible when he taught you how to love people, I give you an A+!

Watching Sarah roll her bags through the sliding doors and into the terminal at DFW today was nothing short of gut wrenching.  I hated watching my friend leave.  But, of course, in true Sarah Mullins fashion, she grabbed my face and looked me in the eyes and said "this is your city...you're gonna do great!" 

I love you sweet friend.
