I would like to open this letter, and start off by thanking you for being you. Thank you for always being there for me even though we are miles and miles away. Thank you for all of the laughs we have shared, all the memories we have made, all of the lessons you have taught me, and most importantly, for being my long distance best friend. I don't always get the chance to remind you how much I appreciate our friendship, and how important you are to me so I feel as though this letter will have to do.

Leaving you to go away to college was one of my hardest goodbyes. Squeezing you one last time before I moved away and knowing that I wasn't going to see you for weeks was so hard. Going from spending every waking moment with someone, to not seeing them for weeks is much easier said than done. Our facetimes, phone calls, and text rants make it slightly more bearable.

Thank you for keeping me informed on all the hometown drama, and for listening to my away-at-college stories. Being able to maintain a friendship with someone who is hundreds of miles away is something that not many friendships can handle. However, with you, it's far from difficult. Seeing you when I come home is like I never left, and knowing that I have one of my biggest fans cheering for me and supporting me in everything I do is such an amazing feeling (even though I no longer have you by my side every day).

God put you in my life for a reason, and I cannot thank him enough for it. I'm still not sure how I made it through a single day before I met you. You make me a better person, and maybe it's because you are my person. We are two peas in a pod, you are the cat to my dog, you're the Vee to my Fiona, and together we are a dynamic duo (should have been class best friends too but it's fine, I'm over it). You are the complete opposite, yet exact replica of me, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

I wish, so badly, that I had the chance to hop in the car with you and go on rides with no destination everyday like how we used to. I wish I could call you and tell you that I will be at your house in 5, and I'm dragging you to the mall with me. I wish I was sitting at your house right now, talking to your mom and mocking your dog's weird panting with you. And although it is so hard to not be able to see you as often as I used to, it makes the times we do get together so much sweeter, and so much more cherished. Everyone deserves a friend like you, and I truly feel bad for anyone who doesn't have a Madi Felty in their life.

I love you so much and I am forever grateful to have you, and call you my best friend.
