In a note to my friend Jon, I described the dress that I’m going to be wearing in my best friends wedding in April, and he gave me one of the nicest albeit awkward complements in my life.
This one ranks up there with the person who compared me to Alexis Bledel and Audrey Hepburn in the same sentence…and someone else who said that my eyes were amazing and a few others too. Another friend of mine said that I can’t take a compliment. Oh wait! Maybe it was Jon, yeah, it was. He always calls me on my crap.
In any case, here is the compliment that I took from the note he wrote me today [today being Monday the 19th of March]
“How you described that dress it sounds like it will look good on you, I’d definitely like to see it when you get pics.”
Goodness! I just stopped when I read that, it was so nice, and kind of funny, because Jon is kind of a ‘tough guy’ quiet about most things but seemingly loud and annoying from afar, amazingly sensitive and caring but with a nice balance of masculinity. Cool guy, I must say, I wish he wasn’t so far away. But I am immensely thankful that he is fighting for his country, I respect him so much for that, even when he’d much rather be here. Darn the War!!!! I have too many people to worry about and I hate it! Love the soldier; hate the war, thank God for the life he’s given … that’s all I’ve got to say about that!
