Dear friends,

We have all been there for each other no matter what, that is what really incredible friends do for each other. That is what amazes me about friends, you don't have to ask for comfort, it is automatically there by default. When we became friends, I didn't expect to go through everything that has come my way. But you have never hesitated to be there for me and I cant even imagine what my life would be like without you. I cant imagine how I would have gotten through the hard times without you.

You have seen me at my highs and have maybe all too often seen me at my lows. I first want to thank you for dealing with all of my texts venting about the situation over and over again. I also want to thank you for just lending an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, and arms to hold me while I cried. I honestly don't know where I would be without you guys standing by me every step of the way. There really are very few people who know every level of my bumps in the road, and the ones that do, mean the world to me and I will never be able to thank you enough.

I want to say sorry for being selfish and not asking how you were. I know you say that it is ok that I am only talking about myself but I do feel bad for keeping it all about me, even though it wasn't necessarily intentional. I just needed the comfort and that is exactly what you gave me and more, but I know you probably needed it too. That is what makes you an amazing friend, you say that it is ok talking all about my problem, but it still doesn't feel fair to you. I know part of friendship is being there for each other but you have done more than that by being physically, not just emotionally there for me at any given time.

Going away to school was extremely difficult because I had to be separated from you for months on end. Texting each other constantly, talking on the phone, and FaceTiming was extremely helpful in staying connected, but being physically separated from you was harder than I expected. Goodbyes always suck but do those of you that mean the world to me, it was like a hole in my heart. My heart was broken that I wouldn't just be able to walk to your house or call you without having to look at your class schedule. Being separated from the people that mean the most to you is extremely hard, but it is doable when they are so important to you. I will never be able to thank you enough for putting off essays or homeworks to talk to me and helping me get through everything that has gone on over the past year.

I love you all so much. Thank you for everything.
