the hardest part

about living in Italy is that I don't get to be with my good friends and family to celebrate things like the holidays and birthdays.

I didn't expect to make a best friend when we were told we'd have to live in Oklahoma, so imagine my surprise on "girl's night," when Amy arrived and we said, "Really, me too" about a hundred times and deemed ourselves best friends forever (bff) that very night.

Amy brings out the side of me that I love. She helps me come out of my shell and be fun and carefree and happy.

While she deserves a reputation for being fun-loving and carefree, I know she also has a big heart that cares deeply and is passionate about helping people.

One of the things Amy I have in common is our love for music-we even love the same type of music-, and so for her birthday, I would like to dedicate this song to her by Tom Petty, who always says it best.

Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked

Sundowns are golden
Then fade away
But if I never do nothing
I'll get you back some day

Cause you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down

And all around your island
There's a barricade
It keeps out the danger
It holds in the pain

Sometimes you're happy
Sometimes you cry
Half of me is ocean
Half of me is sky

But you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down

And some things are over
Some things go on
And part of me you carry
Part of me is gone

But you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down

Baby you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
They fall down

Happy birthday, BFF!
