Dear Dori
Posted in Once I Was a Kansas Girl on April 12, 2008Dear Dori,
I’m so glad that you are my roommate, and that we’ll remain roommates for at least another year barring a ridiculously fast dating/engagement/wedding process for either one of us. (Don’t hate me because I put that up for the world to see; I’m talking as much about me as I am about you.)
One of my favorite things about you is that you make me laugh. Some of my favorite stress-relieving times have been with you. You bring out the silly side of me like few others, and I enjoy being silly (others might call it stupid, but I work with children and try not to use that word). Like just the other day, you called and asked ME for fashion advice. Seriously? I’ve been known to read a fashion magazine or two and I like to shop occasionally, but I’m no fashion guru. I do appreciate that you thought of me when you thought about fashion! Or tonight when you texted me that you had a date with our favorite Baptist history textbook. Only you called him by name, “Torbit.” Love it (the funniness of it all, not the Baptist history textbook).
Not only do you make me laugh, you are a very passionate person. You humbly stand up for what you believe in, and there is much to be admired in that. Your love for our Savior isn’t merely academic either, it spills out into every area of your life. You are willing to drop everything for someone who is in need, which is a type of flexibility I need to work on. You don’t just say you love someone, you show it. I wish I was more like you.
As I finish up this all-too-short letter, know that I’m to the point of tears because of my love for you, my sister in Christ! Here’s to being roommates until we’re old, married, or old and married!
Your Now and Future Roommate,
Ronnica

It sounds like you have a very special roommate. Congratulations on that. Roommates are so iffy – they look good until you actually catch them drinking out of the milk carton or leaving their shoes where you trip over them. I hope the next year is full of happiness for both of you.

I never had roommates, and this letter makes me wish I had.
