It was something that was said to me this morning at the meeting at Thurso Salvation Army which made me realise how much i appreciate this girl. I felt i needed to write it down and for her to know how much i value her as a friend. She has been my rock although she probably doesn't know it.
I find it hard to express emotion which some people may find hard to understand seeing as i always talk non stop! However when it comes to serious and personal matters i tend to shy away and bottle it all up. So writing this is hard for me but she is so special i need to get it out in the open.
This girl is of course the one and only Amy Sayer! It all started in 2nd year English when she arrived in our class. The teacher asked who would like to take Amy to lunch and i flung my arm in the air to make sure i got to take her. However and i still regret it now i left her on her own. The reason behind this was my best friend at the time told me that i wasn't allowed to be friends with her because she went to the Salvation Army, i didn't want to lose this friend but then i didn't want to be horrible to Amy. Although this girl turned out to be horrible anyway and only wanted to be friends with me because she had no one else.
I then went through a patch where i drifted from group to group, not knowing who to tag along with. Everyone had their own best friend and i longed for one too but couldn't seem to find this person. However by chance i happened to settle in the group of people who Amy was friends with and we became closer again. The group is mostly the same now apart from some people coming and going. I found it amazing that she could have forgiven me for being so nasty to her when she had no one else. But when i was at my lowest and had no one else. She was there for me.
She included me in everything that was going on at the army and i went to all their social evenings and what like. Then she invited me to Music School 2007 which was strange for me as i was one of the only ones who didn't go to the salvation army. Then she invited me back again this year even though i still did not attend the army.
After Music School 2008 she helped me when i realised that the right move for me was to start attending the Salvation Army on a Sunday and when i was worried what others would think she was there to support me.
We've shared many happy times and some sad. We've had laughs and tears. We've shared food and faith. I just want Amy to know what a difference she has made in my life without realising.
Without you Amy, i would be no further on in my faith than i was three years ago when you came into my life. Imagine if you never came to Thurso..... you must have been sent to look after me :)
