Hmm, well honestly, I didn't expect that Dale and I would be such good friends. It was definitely a surprise, but a pleasant one!
In April 2008, Word of Hope and a NBCC (a church from San Diego) had a joint family camp at Mile High Pines. I'll have to admit, I was too preoccupied with my own youth group and my boyfriend at the time to really get to know anyone from the other group. (Yes, yes, I knooow...) Of course, we were all briefly introduced, so we all kiiinda knew each other, by name and face, at least, so basically that's how we first met. We didn't really hang out or interact with each other much at all that weekend, but shortly after camp, Dale and I became friends on Facebook. It was one of those kinda things where you added them because you know them, but you don't really knooow them, y'know? We didn't talk after that, but I do remember that he greeted me for my birthday last year, which was totally unexpected and spontaneous. I don't exactly remember how we started talking regularly after that... just through Facebook chat, I guess, and soon enough, as texting buddies too. And for his birthday, I called to greet him at midnight in what turned out to be about a two-hour call... not bad for a first convo, hmm? What's strange about our friendship is we've only ever seen each other face to face twice, since we live hours away from each other. But I don't think that matters, because what does matter is the friendship itself, right?
Dale, I'm glad we got to know each other. I guess you just never really know exactly when and how strangers become friends, hmm? You're laid-back, funny, and yes, you're a pretty soft-hearted and sensitive guy. It was surprising how easy it was for us to warm up to each other and be comfortable about having the occasional long, in-depth, late-night conversation about life, love, faith, random facts, and whatever else comes up. Why is it that we can help others, but we can't seem to help ourselves??? You're a great person to talk to, not just about problems and stuff, but just in general, because you've mastered the art of conversation, and you're pretty spontaneous, I'd say. I have so much respect for you, especially for entering a life of faith and choosing to go into the ministry. More power to you! Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your friendship, and know that whatever you're feeling right now, whatever you're going through, you're not alone! I got your back, and I know you got mine too!
P.S. I think it's cute how you get all protective of me haha (aww)
P.P.S. You're waaay overdue for a visit, by the way!
