One of my very best friends, the most deserving human I know. "You is kind, you is smart, you is important," thanks for being you. Through all the tears, heart breaks, binge food eating sessions and the greatest of times, you have been my anchor. Thank you.

I write this because I fear you don't know how special you are, or how uniquely God has crafted you into the most astounding young woman I have yet to meet. You love blindly, without judgement as one should, and you teach me everyday what being a good friend is all about. Thank you.

You are intelligent, hilarious (most of the time) and one of the most Godly women I know. When I stray from my dreams and ambitions, you remind me of how far I have come, encouraging me to be the best version of myself. For showing me without saying a word, how important the presence of God is in our lives whether we are struggling or succeeding. Thank you.

You are forgiving and reasonable, you fill in the gaps where I fall short as a person, reminding me that's what you're here for. You have been my voice of reason, reminding me that there is always room for understanding, teaching me how to refrain from holding my ever-so-famous grudges. For showing me how easy it is to choose love and forgiveness over hate. Thank you.

You're just a great human being, and somebody too humble to take credit for doing something as simple as being a good friend, but friendship isn't simple. No remarkable friendship is. Everyday, your beauty, your kind heart and your beautiful writing remind me how lucky I am to have a friend like you. Your selfless love has taught me so much about friendship, and for that I am ever so grateful. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
