I really don't say it all that much but thank you. Thank you for being the person I am always able to turn to for literally anything. To say you are my best friend is an understatement. You are most certainly my brother (from another mother). You have been by my side through everything. You listened to me sob over the phone about breakups, dealt with me when I was ticked off at someone who had done me wrong, belted out endless repeats of our favorite songs, made last minute plans and on several occasions have told me exactly what I needed to hear regardless of whether or not it was what I wanted. You always know exactly what I need when I call or text. When I'm in an awful mood you don't take offense to my short responses or the occasional "K". From looking my absolute worst to my absolute best you still go out with me. I'm not sure why but you stuck with me through that super awkward transition between high school and college. You are always down for anything, from a night out at the bar to a night in the backyard around a fire. When I try to beat around the bush you call me out in an instance because you know my personality inside and out. Not once have you failed at being a wing man when we go out dancing. Anytime you notice that someone is heading my way you walk to the other side to give him a chance yet you're always ready to pretend to be my boyfriend when that creepy guy walks past us for the millionth time. I can't keep track of the number of times you've driven just to hang out and be lame when I have nothing better to do. You don't judge me for the mindless mistakes I make, most of the time you're right by my side making them with me. Just like brothers and sisters we fight and bicker over stupid pointless things. I'm sassy (all the time) and you're an idiot (sometimes) but we hash things out and drop them so it never lasts long. People don't always understand our relationship but they don't have to. I will always have your back just like you always have mine.

But honestly, I can't tell you how much the little things you do mean to me. Over the years we have grown so close and there isn't one person I'd rather have as my brother than you. Not a day goes by that I'm not thankful to have you in my life. You are my closest friend and hands down family to me. I love you to pieces!

P.S. Thanks for letting me get in my feels every now and then even though it's not really your thing.
