Since I decided to highlight my favorite people, I figured that I might as well start with the person that I’ve known the longest.

Sasha.

Where do I start with this chick?  We go back to 1985. And she’s been more like a sister than a friend in our 24 years of friendship. (Dayum that’s a long time!) We’ve been to countless Howard homecomings, concerts, ski trips, church parties (just go with it!), vacations, and given many fake numbers to people we continuously ran into. LOL Through it all we’ve remained close.

We have had the occasional bump in our friendship road, but always we’ve been there for each other through ALL of life’s ups and downs. And that’s when it counts the most.

She’s the most chill, go-with-the-flow, old-school hip-hop head, pee-ump (that’s pimp for all you squares LMAO) that I know.  She accepts me for who I am, which is the most important.  We can be goofy and serious. Laugh and cry. She knows my family (well most of it, we’ve got to arrange her meeting the other half this Christmas!) and I know hers.  She keeps it real with me 100% all the time.  She supports me in everything I do, no matter how off the wall it may seem.

Currently she’s on assignment in Paraguay until August 2010, so I only get to chat with her on IM and through emails. But I think we’ve gotten closer over the last year, especially after our talks during her visit to Atlanta before she left the country. I cherished the time that we had to hang out last Christmas…and though it was brief, I wouldn’t trade it for the world!

Sashi, we’ve known each other a LONG time. Through all the ups and downs, I can honestly say we’ve had a blast! Here’s to many, many, many more shared memories! Love ya and miss ya lots sistagirl!
