She is the most outgoing, yet shy person that I have ever met. She is strong, she is sarcastic, she is unique. She is my best friend. When Katie was twelve, she sprained her ankle. Within hours, she was rushed to the hospital. It turns out, Katie had a very rare blood trait, Factor Five. She also contracted the MRSA staff infection. Over the course of three months, Katie had gone though eleven surgeries., one of them being open heart surgery. Katie is the strongest person I know. She is very sarcastic, and people who do not know her well often have a hard time discerning whether she is joking or not. She is definitely a blonde. She once asked me “How in the world do people go to the South Pole without falling off the Earth?” but that doesn’t top the time she told me that she thought “Islam” was a kind of lunch meat. Katie is a strong Christian. She has told me repeatedly that the only way she made it through her illness was with the help of Jesus. Although Katie is a strong person, there are times when she is weak and scared. She often wishes that she was as strong as she was when she was twelve. She often worries what the future holds for her. But through it all, she still has a joyous outlook on life, and she still takes the time to try to comfort and cheer up those who are hurting around her. She is one of the most selfless people that I know. Anyone who has ever made her acquaintance is truly blessed.
I LOVE YOU, KATIE!
