I once wondered what it would be like if I did not have you as my best friend. I know that that will never have to be a reality for me, but considering our numerous years of friendship, and everything that we have endured and conquered, I can only try to put into words how thankful I am that you are my best friend. That being said, I want you to know a few things.

Obviously that I love you and I am here for you, you always know that but I feel as though telling you too often is not a possibility. When it comes to ugly situations, we have always been there for each other. Boys. Parents. Siblings. Other friends. Whatever it was, we knew that we had each other.

I am so blessed to have a best friend like you. Anytime I would need you, you were there. I know how cliched that sounds, but it is a statement that also means a lot. Knowing that there is someone who chooses to be one of the people you default to, means something. We know each other's secrets, and know that there is never any judgement. That, my friend, is worth a lot just by itself.

You are one of the absolute strongest people that I know. When it comes to the things that you are going through with your family right now, with your dad being sick and such, you are still there when I call, still at my house every weekend, and still laughing and smiling. It's not that nothing is wrong, it's that you refuse to let it get the best of you. Sure, there are a lot of times that it gets emotional, but you keep on trucking through it, making every minute count.

I wish that I could accurately sum up our friendship and what exactly it means to me, but there are no words to successfully do it. You are my absolute best friend on this entire planet, and for that, I would like to thank you. I would not have been able to handle this crazy life without you right by my side. I hate everything that you are going through, but just know, I've got your back.
