Dear friends I have left at home,
I know I have only been at school for a month, but it is starting to set in that I miss you guys. I used to talk to most of you every day but that is starting to change. I don’t talk to some of you as much as I used to and I’m sorry for that. It makes me sad yet happy at the same time when I get to see all of you asking people to homecoming or getting ready to go to a marching band competition because I’ve gotten to see so many of you group up into the young adults you are all becoming. You guys have all come so far and I have gotten to see that change, but I’m sorry I can’t be there in person to see it.
It gets harder for me every day that I don’t get to see or talk to you guys. Now don’t get me wrong, I have some great friends here at school, but they aren’t the same as you. They don’t know me as well as you do. You guys know everything there is to know about me and I know you guys are here to stay. My friends at school are another couple of chapters in my life, but you guys are the entire rest of the book. You make me who I am today (along with my mom) and I thank you so much for that. I don’t want you guys to ever go anywhere, but I knew it may eventually happen. It makes me sad to think of that day, because we are wasting away days right now by not talking to each other. Yes, I know we all get busy, especially me, but I try every chance I get to talk to you.
Sometimes I get upset thinking about the fact that one day everything between could be gone and we would just a faint memory in each other’s minds. That honestly scares me more than anything in the world, even more than spiders. I don’t want to think of a day without any of you, I want you all to stay in my life forever, but I know that won’t happen. I know one day we will all go our separate ways, but my one hope it that we can still stay in touch. You guys are my entire life and I couldn’t imagine my life without you. We have shared so many memories together and we have all made each who we are. We have helped each other grow so much and wow was change good for us.
Just writing this makes me sad, because it makes me realize that soon some of you will be graduating high school, and you will be entering college. One that may be a thousand miles away from me and everyone else and one think I ask is please stay in touch. College is hard and you don’t have to do it alone. You guys were there for me and I want to be there for you, but if I reach out to you please respond back. Even if it is just “Hi I’m doing great” or just an update on your life, because if something were to ever happen to you I would blame myself.
You guys mean everything to me. I know we have had our ups and downs, but like I said I really couldn’t imagine a life without you. You are all my crazy and amazing best friends and I love you. I know I’m miles away from all of your but please remember I am here for you and I hope you are still here for me, and even though I may have left for school, I wasn’t saying “goodbye” I was saying “see you next time,” and I meant that.
Love,
Your best friend who misses you…
