First things first, I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I let my busy schedule take place of our Saturday phone calls. My priorities became mixed up and, somehow, you ended up on the latter end of the list and I’m not exactly sure how that happened. Sometimes things can come behind you and in a blink of an eye, they are the things that you put all of your focus on. Somehow I lost focus on our friendship and I’m sorry.
I can hardly believe I let trivial things start taking precedence over our essential friendship. You were there for me in the roughest parts of my life and I promise I haven’t forgotten. You have been the biggest blessing during my middle school and high school years and will continue to be during my college years and thereafter. I won’t forget how you were a constant calm through the storms of life and your ever-constant companionship is something I have taken for granted.
So I promise to always make the first call and make sure you know that no one can take that spot from you. Even though I may not be so quick to remind you, you are one of my favorite bragging points in life. Having such a genuine, honest best friend is something not everyone is blessed with and, somehow, I was lucky enough to have you.
So I say these things because I can’t imagine not having you as a best friend. Life would have been so different without you. You helped make me who I am today by giving me endless confidence boosters and the best advice a girl could have. (Because let's be real, you are right 93 percent of the time). You won’t ever know how much I needed to know that no matter what was going on, I always had someone trusting in me and pushing me to make the right choices. Your confidence in me is one of the reasons I have confidence in myself.
When I think of the best moments of my life, you’re in most of them. From concerts to spring break trips, my memories with you will be some of my favorites, simply because I had one of my favorite people right beside me. I hope we continue this friendship until the end of our days, because having you in the coveted "best friend" role has been, and will continue to be, such an awesome blessing. And really, who else would let me eat the whole pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream?
So Best Friend, I apologize for not taking the time to keep you at the top of my priority list. I would venture to say that we both love having each other as our best friend and I don’t plan on changing that. Thank you again for blessing me with such an amazingly beautiful friendship. Let's go ahead and start planning our next adventure, because we’re due for another trip we can brag about.
Love,
Your Very Sorry and Very Loving Best Friend
