I am so thankful you have been my friend for 15 years. You have stuck around for so long. Don't get me wrong there had been hard times, like when we lived together and continuously got frustrated with one another, but, in the end, it made our relationship stronger. I miss those nights that I used to have with you. When there is a need to escape my Atlanta world you are always there for me.

First, I just want to say that you need to find someone that will love you more than anything on earth. It seems like you have found the guy that loves you almost as much as I do lol. You deserve to be loved the right way by someone who will always see the beauty in your smiles and even on the days that you frown or cry.

Second, be sure that you always put yourself first. Don't forget to take a breather and remember what kind of person you want to be. Run away to the beach or the mountains, spend the time to adventure around the world. Accomplish your dreams, enjoy going back to school and finding out what to do with your wife.

Thirdly, keep the faith in yourself. Remember that your journey with Christ is one that you have fought for, and the relationship that I see is one that inspires me. Thank you for never giving up on my journey with God. If it wasn't for the things you have done, I don't know where I would be.

So here is to the friend that has always been there. Here's to our climbing trees days and late nights discussing what to do with our lives. Here's to the time I called you and just shared everything I have ever thought about you with an accent, but instead of being upset you were happy that I opened up to you. Even with the distance between us, we are still the best of friends. Hoping for another 15 years with you.
