Dear best friend,

You know who you are.

Every time you write me something I cry, so hopefully this makes you at least a little emotional.

We have known each other since Kindergarten and have never gone to separate schools. We even decided to go to the same college. We have been close at some points and distant at others, but we have always found our way back to each other.

We may pick on each other and have our moments where we probably want to smack each other (I know I do), but I will always care about you. The beginning of the semester was rough for us, and we didn't talk for a whole month. That was probably the hardest thing that I have had to do. I honestly cried for a few days and wondered if I had screwed up by telling you that I needed some space, but it was the best thing that ever happened to us. I know I did the right thing by letting you go. I knew that if our friendship was true and if we really cared about each other we would come back together, and we came back even stronger.

I want to thank you for everything you have done for me.

Thank you for being around to make me laugh with your insane rants about people.

Thank you for letting me eat your tatter tots in the library.

Thank you for bringing me closer to our Heavenly Father and helping me strengthen my faith #MormonSquad.

Thank you for always having my back and offering to break a guy's legs if he hurts me (I know you would actually do this).

Thank you for listening to me cry first year and hugging me and telling me that it will be okay.

And most importantly, thank you for taking my advice and not shaving your beard.

I will always be here for you.

I will always be here to tell you that some girl doesn't deserve you (most don't).

I will always be here to help you through the rough patches in your life.

I will always be here to guide you back to your faith if you ever feel distant again.

I will always be here to talk about cute wiener dogs with you and have you roll your eyes at me.

I will continue to stick around until we are both old and are still yelling at each other.

I will always be here.

Love always,

Your dachshund loving friend
