It's easy to take your best friends for granted. They've evolved from stranger, to acquaintance, to friend, to your companion for life. They're your biggest advocate, and yet they're the one who knows your flaws best. You've proven to the universe that time, distance, and growth could do nothing to separate the bond that you two have created. It's a gift from God, and it's becomes easy to take it for granted. So here's to you -- my best friend, my person, my source, my cheerleader. Thank you for these and many more things.
