Dear best friend,

Thank you. Thank you for supporting me and loving me regardless of the miles. Thank you being on the phone while I cry about late night studying for my test the next day. Thank you for maintaining our Snapchat streak. Thank you for being you.

I know it's hard to get together and spend time together when we are both so far from each other. I know it's hard when both your boyfriend and I are gone. I know you feel lonely when we aren't home. However, you need to know that you will never be alone.

You are such an incredible person and I know you will accomplish so much. With school and starting a new job, I feel so blessed that you make time to facetime me every single night. We haven't seen each other in so long but in some ways, it's like we haven't been separated. You've been here through it all.

I'm writing you this so that I can express just how much I appreciate your existence. You sit on the phone while I cry and you know I do the same for you. I call you with drama and gossip as we talk for hours throughout the night. You are loved and cherished so please don't forget how much you mean to me.

I admire your dedication and your motivation. You work so hard to accomplish your dreams. Once you put your mind to something you don't let it go. Never forget just how strong you are, it will take you so far in life. I admire your love for your family and friends, the loyalty you have to them is beyond anyone else I know.

You may get stressed out and feel anxiety about certain things, but I will always be here to listen and have your back. Hopefully you already know this but it is nice to have those reminders from people who care. Remember to take care of your self mentally and emotionally. It's important to both of us. I should remember this too.

School may have separated us but we have managed to keep our friendship as strong as before I left. I never thought my summer job would bring me such a wonderful and inspiring person, a friend I will have for life. I can't imagine not having a friend like you. I may not survive.

I see you in my wedding, at my kid's birthday parties, visiting for cookouts and everything else life has to offer. I truly believe I have made a friend who is here for a lifetime and I am so glad that that person is you.

You have helped me through hard times and celebrated with me through good times. You listen to me complain, thank you for being so patient. I appreciate everything you are and everything you will be. Keep working towards your dreams and never forget who you are. You are so important to me and many others.

Happy Birthday J, I love you so much.

Sincerely,

Your Best Friend: Another ADHD Student
