Erika's tribute


So, I'm back for a little while. I wanted to take this time to let someone know that she is an incredible woman! Erika, you have inspired me!!

This woman, in case you don't know, is a college student and works occasionally at Walt Disney World. That is where I met her. The summer of 2004 at the Magic Kingdom. We both were working at Main Street Entrance. She mainly worked in Delivery Services and I in Strollers. I don't recall the first time we met, but her influence on me has remained the same. Here she is in my eyes.

Sweet doesn't even begin to describe her. She's intelligent, very well versed and articulate. She carries herself with high regard and a powerful amount of self respect. She's very down to earth and isn't at all conceited. She laughs. She smiles. When first meeting someone, she's soft spoken but once you get to know her, she's all about having fun. She's complex as every woman is. She's an amazing friend.


Erika, you don't know it, but you truly inspire me to be a better person. Your open and fun-loving attitude shines even when you aren't around. I'm sure you are thinking some strange things and have a few questions. I wanted to do this for a few reasons. 1 is that I was just reading your blog and was thinking about you. 2 is that I wanted you to know just what you and your friendship mean to me. 3 is it's about time I told my friends what I think about them and how much they mean to me.

There is so much more that I am feeling but it's somewhat hard to put those emotions into words. Know that I love you and value our friendship. I hope it continues for years to come.POWER RANGERS UNITE!

tracy, that was so beautiful, and I thank you so much for it! here i am checking my email between classes and get the email about your *new* blog, and I never dreamed I would be so encouraged! and tracy, you have been such an amzing friend to me! you were always there for me if ever I needed you (physically a couple different times I remember - driving me to work after I missed the bus this past summer, and even to the hospital and you hate hospitals!) and you have an amazing way of making everyone relax when they are around you and have fun. this past summer when I was having what would have been a rather hard day, I was totally blessed to hang out with you (and eddie and scottie) and we went to mgm and i think it was seriously the funnest day I had while i was there (and also definately one of the hottest..) but I appreciated you guys so much that day, and tracy, your faithfulness in friendship has meant so mcuh to me, and I know it has to everyone around you - wow - ok, maybe I should have just posted a tribute to you on my blog rather than taking up all the comment space ;)
anyways, I love you tons and I hope you are doing well and not missing disney too much today!
