Dear Best Friend,

You came into my life at exactly the right time, and have made life so much better. You’re a wonderful person. Not only to others, but to yourself and that has taught me so much. When people ask me who my role model or my hero is, I mention your name. Your kindness and ability to always make others feel welcome is amazing. More people, including myself, should be like you. Your work ethic is what drives me to work harder and be a better me. Without you, I would have never moved forward. You help me continue to grow, and I can only hope that I do the same with you. You challenge me to always do better, and cheer me on as I do. When I fail, you help me to get back on track. When I’m hurting, you’re there to comfort me. You have never, and will never give up and I applaud you for that. For it has taught me to do the same.

I admire you in everything that you do. You’re my role model, my hero, and my rock. I know I don’t say it or show it, but you mean the world to me. I want to be for you what you have been for me since we became friends. I will always be there for you. I will cheer you on when you do the great things you set out to do, and I will help you pick up the pieces when you are hurting. So, thank you. Thank you for being the best friend I could ever ask for. Thank you for coming into my life at exactly the right moment. Thank you for challenging me to do better. Thank you for comforting me when I’m hurting. Thank you for helping me continue to grow and move forward. But most of all, thank you for never giving up on me.
