This post shocks me bcz it seems you have do many ppl who love you so deeply and your posts are so amazing.

ok, now i am totally crying... what love! here is to a new year full of more love!

Wow. We should all be so lucky to have friends like that.

What a great story of friendship!

On a side note, that house with eternal on the side is kitty-corner from my old office. I miss working in Berkeley so much!

What a great story---may we ALL have such friends.

Wonderful story!

What an awesome gesture from awesomely true friends for an obviously awesome person who needed to know that.

it is hard to think of the andrea you just described as the one in that picture, it feels like you really have transformed in the last year into the shining loveliness (that i have always thought you were, even if you did not at the time). what powerful wonderful women you have and are. :)

in a sea of stories about woman's inhumanity to woman, this is a life raft.

What lovely friends, how lucky you are!

Love the story, the gesture, and love that house on Fourth Street in Berkeley that provides the backdrop for your photo... I have a great photo of friend appreciating the "eternal" amidst the weeds there, and it never fails to make me smile.

That is an amazing story. It's wonderful having great friends!

So Wonderful and you are such a lovely soul!! What a way to begin a new year...the power of sisterhood is quite amazing! xoxo, ~ M.

This was an incredibly powerful story. I got tear-pricks in my eyes toward the end of it, imagining you walking and laughing and staying up late in NYC in the context of what the trip meant to you, what your friends gave to you. Thanks for sharing this.

oh yeah -- you go girl! and you look radiant in that photo...

Thankyou for sharing this. A very human and very special superhero, and a very lucky one too!

i just love this story so much. inspiring, joyful, and full of hope and love.

That you were able to accept their gift is one of the beautiful parts of your story. Being able to open to and receive what's given completes the gift.

What a great story! You have wonderful friends; a reflection of yourself (by the way).

beautiful story andrea. you truly are an incredible individual who attracts incredible friends into there life. wishing you the best.

What a beautiful story! I really enjoyed reading this and am so, so, so happy that you have such caring friends.

That is awesome. And what a fun idea to recap the good.

Andrea, I so know this place. I actually visited it almost the entire day yesterday. And a friend pulled me out of it with a phone call. Somehow just hearing people talk with me who get me makes a big difference. And I LOVE how much your friends love you. I mean it sounds like a movie it's that perfect. You are one lucky gal.

Amazing, amazing friends indeed. I love this story and I love the way you so generously share your personal stories in general. Amazing.

How wonderful.
The dark place of which you speak is well known by me. My friends are always the ones to let the light peek in.
And if your friends feel like adopting a new bff, I'm available...just sayin.

i love this story!
and i love that you have
the kind of friends that
do the same things for YOU
that you do for others...
:)
