Today is my friend Robin's birthday. She is one of the greatest blessings in my life, and I treasure our friendship immensely. We've been the best of friends since second grade, but it seems like she's just always been in my life.

Robin's talents? Listening, and offering great advice (without being pushy). No topic has ever been off limits. The tough stuff; crazy family issues (we both have a few strange relatives), boyfriends and then husbands (I really owe her for this one actually--I went on my first date with my husband thanks to a double-date so she wouldn't have to go alone with his friend), break-ups, career changes, hormones, babies, life-goals...you get the picture. But we love the fun stuff too! Houses and decorating, fashion and shopping, cooking and restaurants, books (when we're feeling literary) and tv (when we're not).

That little twist of fate that put us living next door to each other as girls was as good as winning the lottery. Not everyone has a life-long friendship like Robin and I do, and it truly is a blessing. Love you!

That was the nicest birthday tribute ever, and all very true about her as a sister too!
WOW! Everything you said about my wonderful sister is true! She is the best. And I am glad through her having you as a best friend we get you too! And yes, she does write the best notes and is the most dedicated environmentalist I know!
Hi Aimee and Sarah-isn't she just the best? And thanks so much for your very sweet comment Sarah. I'm lucky that through her I get a whole extra family (full of really fab sisters!).--Lex
