When we started our freshman year of high school together everything was great! We were closer than ever and we vowed to keep it that way, but we had no idea how much these next four years were going to change ourselves individually and our relationship.

Sure, we talked all throughout high school, but as the years went on the communication became less and less frequent. We got involved with sports, activities, clubs, made new friends, and started figuring out what path in life we wanted to take. We supported each other through everything, and even though we weren't as close as we were before, we could still count on each other for advice on anything and everything.

Sadly, our paths separated after graduation, but I want you to know that I'm so happy for you. You are one of the best people that I have ever met in my life and will always hold a special place in my heart. We made so many incredible memories over the years that I will cherish forever. You helped make me the person that I am today, and I can't thank you enough for that. Also, I can't thank you enough for the continuous love and support that you gave me. Even with everything going on in our busy lives, you were still always there for me when I needed you.

Now, in our freshman year of college at different schools miles apart, our lives are busier now more than ever. Although it's very rare, getting that simple "Hey, bud! Hope everything's going well!" text message brings a huge smile to my face. Of course I'd love to go back to the good old days of living in the same town and being able to hang out whenever, but now I understand and accept the fact that life is just like that. Simply, I just want you to know that you will always be my best friend whether we end up losing touch or not as more years go by, and that I have and always will love you no matter what.

Thank you again for EVERYTHING.

Love always,

Your High School Best Friend
