Dear best friend(s),

I first want to tell you, and make sure you know, how much I appreciate our friendship and memories we made growing up. You have always and continue to be there for me whenever I need a pick me up, and I will always return the favor.

It was one of the hardest things to say goodbye to someone who I felt understood everything about me. Never judged, although sometimes made fun of, you helped shaped the person I am today. I couldn't be more grateful for you.

I want to let you know that I have made the best of friends in college, and I think you'd love them too. No one will ever replace you, my childhood bestie, but we've changed as we have grown into young adults. We might not be interested in the same things anymore, or even get along sometimes, but I know that deep down, we are still sisters at heart. No matter where life takes us, I promise to always be there to listen, mourn, or celebrate whatever life gives you.

It sucks not talking everyday, or being so involved in one another's lives like it used to be, but know how incredibly proud of you I am. Whether you aced a test, succeeded in a college sport, or made new friends, I love to see how happy your journey has made you. Thank goodness for social media, or else I'm not sure how I'd survive. Scrolling through my newsfeed and seeing your happiness radiate through your new colleagues gives me butterflies. It reminds me of the incredible memories we've made, and sometimes brings tears to my eyes. I miss you more than you know.

I know how cheesy and mushy gushy this letter sounds, but I needed to tell you that you will always be my bestie, for the restie. No one can replace you or the time we laughed for hours because we made a dumb video, that really wasn't all that funny. I'll see you soon enough, and I cannot wait to hear about the new memories you've made. I am so proud of you, and I love you like you're my sister.

Sincerely,

Your OG Bestie
