Dear Mom and Dad,
After years of friendship with your child, I have found it necessary to thank you for some things.
Without you, your child would not be my best friend, and for that, I am forever grateful. Without your child, my life would be completely different. The friendship I have with your child is a blessing. I can’t exactly explain our relationship in words, mainly because nothing will ever be able to fully describe us together as friends. Your child is an amazing person, and I’ll always be thankful for their existence.
Thank you for teaching your child how to be a friend. We do everything together from watching horror movies and enoing to singing at the top of our lungs to every song that comes on or even eating ice cream in my driveway. I trust your child completely and am grateful that we have years of stories, inside jokes, and pictures to look back on. Honestly, the child you raised has been a saving grace. They taught me that true friendship is an extraordinary gift. Your child is my favorite gift of all. You raised your beautiful child to have attributes of a real friend. I have never had to question their loyalty, and they have been there for me through thick and thin. Once again, we literally do everything together. We laugh, we cry, and we talk about any and everything you can possibly imagine. It’s always a good time with them.
Thank you for putting up with us when we’re together. I’m sure there have been plenty of times you have wanted to pull your hair out from stress from the loudness to breakfast of champions or late nights and being too close to curfew. Yet you let us enjoy ourselves as our time together grew limited. You just ignored us yet gave into laughter from judging our weird conversations.
Thank you for never judging me. You have seen me in my natural environment, and I cannot be embarrassed with you. Thanks for never judging me for my appearance at times whether it be, my hair being a non-brushed, curly mess, having hunger anger, or waking up bright eyed, bushy tailed in the morning, or even those intimate discussions and conversations we have had. You have seen me at my best and at my worst and still never once judged me.
Lastly, thank you for being my other parents and accepting me into your family. At this point, we’ve joked endlessly about me being your other child, it may as well be true. You’ve driven me around, invited me to family functions, celebrated my victories, and have given me advice; all like I was your own. You always let me know that if I ever need something, no matter what, that you would do what you could. You’ve loved me no differently than your child, and for that, I especially thank you.
Thank you for everything. I love you guys!
Love,
Your Child’s Best Friend
