Dear Best Friend,

You are my rock, my go-to, and the one person I can't live without. You are always there for me, and for that, I cannot thank you enough.

No matter if it is noon or midnight, I can call, and you will pick right up. When some stupid guy breaks my heart again, you are there to help me pick up the pieces and go on with life. When I cannot stand the thought of trying on another outfit because everything looks hideous, you always tell me I look beautiful. The countless late nights we stay up talking until one of us falls asleep, those are the times that matter most in life.

I remember when we first started being friends. To have a friend who understands every aspect of you, someone who just "gets you"... Gosh, it was the best thing ever! Now, I never have to worry about not having someone because I know you will always be by my side.

I remember on graduation night we were not on the best terms, but we took a picture anyway, and man... am I glad we did. Those memories will last a lifetime. (It was also a sad night because I knew we were going separate ways, even though we would still be in driving distance of each other.) Just knowing we would not see each other every day and have classes together, it was a total change, but I am glad you went on to do what you love, and I know those football boys are in good hands.

You always love me unconditionally, and you tell me everything will be okay. We talk about boys all the time (of course) and how much we like this one but also how stupid the other one is. It never gets old.

However, with that being said, I hope you find someone who is worthy of you. Who loves you more than you could ever love yourself. Someone who knows what precious jewel he has when he has it. I want to be up there beside you, giving you away to your new best friend (just don't forget about me!), and I hope you find someone who sees all of your flaws and loves you even more because of them.

I know in having you as a friend, I will always have someone who protects me, tells me how worthy I am (even when I cannot see it), and someone who sees something in me when I feel like all hope is gone.

I cannot thank God enough for allowing our paths to cross sophomore year of high school. We have many differences, but we also are so alike in so many ways, it is kind of scary (and I think everyone agrees).

No matter where life takes us, we will always have each other. Whether we are ten or 100 miles apart, we are always just a phone call away from each other. I know one day we will find our prince charmings, go our separate ways again, and have our own little families. (Goodness, I cannot wait until that day!)

I am forever lucky, blessed, and thankful to have you. I love you.
