Hey you,

I love you, but not in a mushy way even though at one point I did. I love you in a sibling way. You have helped me find myself in a way I cannot describe. Through the six years we have been friends you have shown me so much.

You showed me the way a true guy should act. For the most part, you have always treated me like a lady, except when you burp in my face or fart 20 times in the span of an hour. When you do those things you crack me up, even though I pretend to be completely grossed out. You are seriously one of the most authentic people I know.

Thank you for being there even when I was at my lowest of lows. Thank you for being my friend even through the awkward middle school years and listening to all my "problems" through the years. You have helped me through some seriously tough stuff and I thank you for being willing to do that. You know me on a deeper level than most of the people in my life. I have entrusted you with many secrets that you continue to keep. I love that you have fully embraced me and all of my flaws.

You have encouraged me to be myself. Thank you for always telling me to "be me." It was you who taught me not to be basic and to go against the crowd. You have helped me to be fully confident in who I am. You even laugh at my lame jokes. You have helped me so much in my life and I hope that I have helped you too.

Thank you for always going along with all my crazy plans. I think we have done some pretty stupid things through the years, but that is okay because we will always hold those memories in our hearts. You have also come up with some crazy ideas which have taken me completely out of my comfort zone. Thank you for helping me stretch beyond my little world. You have helped me to be adventurous and to do what is unpopular.

I have enjoyed watching you grow as a person through the years. You have turned into an incredible man. I can not wait to see where this world continues to take you.

Thank you for teaching me how I should expect to be treated. You have not only showed me how a friend should love, but also you have instilled in me the qualities and standards for the man I say "I do" to one day. You are such an amazing person! Please do not ever forget that.

Thank you for all you have done for me. Thank you for being my friend and loving me even when I was all alone and had no friends. Thank you for teasing me and making me laugh. You have brought so much joy to my life over the years. I cannot wait to see what the future of our friendship holds. You have been such a blessing in my life.

You rock,

Jourdyn
