To: Idgie From: Ruth

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ( a little early) May 24th I know

Here's to the many times I've cried
and you've held me and told me it would be ok

the boy obsessions the heartache

and you stuck through as a friend

even when I pushed you away

Here's to the trips to south carolina

laying in the cemetery talking to daddy

while you sat beside me tears

running behind your aviators

Here's to you

my Idgie my best friend in the world

here's to being 19 and starting a new journey
 here's to the past and the present

I'll  be here always and forever
