I hope you have a person in your life you consider your best friend. I hope you have the joy of experiencing a friendship that deep and the joy that comes along with that. So often I forget to thank you and take my best friend for granted. Here is a list of a few of the things I would like to thank my best friend for.

1. Thank you for letting me always vent.

Thank you for always listening to me, even when I am making no sense and just need to talk. Thanks for not trying to give me advice always, but just listening to me and letting me say a ridiculous things. Thank you for giving me advice when I need it but in the most loving way.

2. Thank you for loving me, no matter what.

Thank you for loving me, even when I am hard to love. Thanks for loving me through times in my life when I didn't deserve to be loved, the times I was not myself, and yet, you loved me at my worst. Thank you for persevering through those times to make me stronger in the end. Thanks for loving me when I am my best, as well.

3. Thank you for reminding me of good memories and bad.

Thank you for laughing with me about the things we did in middle school, the good times spent on trips or just doing crazy things on snow days. Thanks for the reminders of good times when I need them. Thanks for always reminding me of the bad memories to remind me what we have been through, the tough times in life we went through together that made us stronger. Thanks for reminding me about those, as well.

4. Thank you for putting me before you.

Thank you for putting my needs before your own when I need it. Thank you for calling me when you really should be studying, but I need to talk. Thank you for making time in a busy week to meet up just to share our hearts. Thank you for going out of your way to do random things for me.

5. Thank you for reminding me of the important things.

Thank you for pointing out to me the things that matter in life, for reminding me to remember the big picture. Thank you for pushing me toward our creator and reminding me to run to Him in every situation.

6. Thank you for being my forever friend.

Finally, thank you for being my forever best friend. Thank you for taking the challenge of being my best friend and accepting the fact that you will go through the best times in life and the worst together. Thank you for loving me always; I know you always will. No matter what, we will face it together, and I thank God for that every day.
