To My High School Forever Friends,

I was not only blessed to have you all while growing up, but I was also lucky enough to have you after high school was over. I could not imagine going through high school or life without you guys. From all of our inside jokes, crazy group messages and endless nights of adventures, we have formed a bond that is so unique and unbreakable. Every funny story or all of the "you had to be there" moments, I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Whenever I look back on my youth, I know my thoughts will be filled with amazing memories with all of you, which of course I wouldn't have it any other way.

Thank you guys so much for being the friends that you are. When graduation came I was so worried about losing all of you. I knew that we would all go our separate ways and all I could think about were all of the stories of growing apart after high school. Now I will admit that we have been apart longer than we ever have in our entire lives, but I can confidently say that in a way, this has made our group stronger. The thing is, it doesn't matter that we do not spend every weekend together or see each other everyday, because regardless of the distance, I know that I have all of you close to my heart. The cool part about it all is that whenever we come back together, it's as if we pick up where we last left off. You have all grown into such amazing people and I am so proud to be able to say that you all are my friends.

I have never laughed so hard with anyone else in my entire life. Whenever we are all together, its as if the rest of the world goes blank. Which to me is an amazing thing because usually this means our times are spent full of joy. I have changed so much in this past year, as you all have as well, and I enjoy coming back together and seeing you all become even more amazing than you already were. You guys have always went out of your way to cheer me up and throughout the years we have always been each others shoulder to lean on. Your acceptance to whatever crazy change I make, idea I have or senseless rambling means the absolute world to me.

I am pretty sure everyone underestimates us. We really are like the biggest group of baddies even though we all look like we're twelve years old. We can accomplish anything when we are together. Whether it be us getting locked in Sydney's room, breaking down on the side of the road (multiple times) or even a heartbreak, there’s no doubt in my mind that we cannot solve anything that life throws at us.

One of my favorite things about our friendship is how we share so much. Not only do we share so many priceless memories, but we also share many emotions. By this I mean whenever one of us has been hurt, it’s as if all of us has taken the shot. Whenever one of us has been done wrong, all of the others are just as angry, if not a little bit more. Same with happiness, whenever something great happens, we all celebrate the good.

All of these things make our friendship so beautiful and why I hold it so close to my heart. The lessons we have learned together and taught one another will be something else we can carry as a reminder. In all honesty, I hope that in our retirement days we all end up in the same nursing home together just so we can carry on all of our silly ways. All of you mean so much to me and thank you so much for all of the love, support and beautiful memories.

Love Always,

Baily
