Dear Old Friend,

It has been awhile since we last talked. By no way does this mean that I have a problem with you, but we just kind of went our separate ways. People grow, life changes and life moves faster than the speed of light without us even realizing it. Therefore, I believe its fair to take a few seconds out my day to recognize the person who used to mean the most to me.

We really suck. Shame on us for no making an effort to be better and keep up with the hustle of life to catch up and get lunch. We really need to get better at making time for each other.

Thank you for creating such an impact on my life. Sometimes I look at things and they automatically remind me of the good time we had together. The crazy memories that we shared together and vowed not to tell anyone about were some of the best times of my life and I am so grateful you were there to share them with me.

No one knows my past better than you. You are one of the only people that understands the deep and scary meaning behind, "Aunt Carol is coming in town this weekend". You remember the first time I was grounded, spending birthdays and holidays together, summer camps, the dreaded middle school drama and you were there for it all.

As we grew older, we started to drift apart, not for the better or the worse. We had different classes, friend groups, interests and daily life kept us apart from each other. I love the moments that we get to spend catching up together and laughing, for it makes me remember things like old times, and that yes, both of our mothers are still crazy.

One last thing, wherever this amazing world takes you I hope you succeed. I hope you live your dream life that we talked about when we were eight years old. And one last thank you, because if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be the person I am today.

With love,

Your Oldest Friend
