You're the type of friend that came over when I was crying on the floor from a horrible breakup and not only lifted me off the ground but brought my favorite candy," she wrote in the birthday post on Instagram. "I honestly didn't think anyone would ever understand me like you, but then enter my husband [Christopher French] and you happily embraced him like a brother. There's no one like you Austin."
