An Open Letter to my Best Friend
I think that you are placed into peoples lives for a reason. Sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky and what I have done to deserve a friend like you. People have come and gone out of my life, but for some reason you haven’t left yet. Which I am extremely thankful for because your friendship is one of the greatest gifts I have ever received.
I could write a book about the positive affect you have had on my life. Your heart is of the purest that I have ever known. The love and compassion that you show for others is so special and I am so grateful to be affected and influenced by you. Have I told you that I appreciate you lately? Because I do.
You believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. You loved me when I was hard to love and you listened to me when neither one of us had a voice. But most importantly, we never gave up on each other. We may not see each other as often as we like, especially since you’re turning into an adult this summer. I’ll miss our heart to hearts at 11:00pm in my car and more importantly I’ll miss you.
You know me to my core. You know everything about me. You know what makes me smile and what ticks me off. You can tell in an instant when I am upset and then continue to do everything in your power to make me feel better. If I am going through something, you are one of the first person to text me to make sure I am okay (even if it takes you two years to text back sometimes.) You understand my odd sense of humor, my love for sarcasm, and laugh at my terrible jokes and side comments. I have never had a bad moment with you. You're my best friend because I wouldn't dare be this weird with anyone else.
You fill my life with an immense amount of happiness and love. I know that wherever life takes us, you will be part of my life. If we don’t talk for some time, we pick up right where we left off. Whenever I need you, I know you will always be there.
You are the epitome of a beautiful human being. I hope that every person in this world has someone like you in their lives. You’re my person. Thank you for being my person. Happy Friendiversary! I'd totally walk 500 miles for you.
