Dear best friend,
I want you to know how much you mean to me. You have always been one of the most consistent people in my life. We’ve only been friends a brief three years but I feel like I’ve known you my whole life. There are very few people in this world I would consider my best friend but you’ve quickly become one of them. I’ve shared with you the secrets that not even my parents know and you’ve become the person I turn to when it seems the world is falling apart. My relationship with my brother is not what I had hoped it would be so as I got older I began to choose my family. You rose quickly to the top of my list, becoming my best friend and my sister. When you introduced me at your birthday as your best friend I became ridiculously excited. No one had ever said out loud that I was their best friend. You don’t judge me, you let me cry and get angry, while you do your best to make me feel better. I have to say in all honesty our relationship is the best I’ve ever had. You have become someone I would drop everything for. Nothing hurts me more when I’m far away and I know I can’t be there to help.
We don’t see each other often, and I wish we could always be near each other but I know we aren’t. That being said when we do get to see each other those moments are often the highlight of my week. I enjoy watching "Game Grumps" with you while I try to keep all four of your dogs happy as we bake some cookies and talk about the world around us. We’re both young but I love how we get to be cranky old ladies together. Talking to each other about “the younger generation” and reminisce about how amazing our childhood was. But you are also someone who isn’t afraid to talk about the bad things that happen in our lives. I want you to know that if I could fix everything for you I would. You’ve managed to make your way into my heart, and I wouldn’t change that for the world. I know this sounds like a love letter and that’s because it is. I love you as a sister and I love you as a best friend. As our three years turn into four, I want you to know I’ve already started looking for apartments. Places that will fit both your dog and my cat, someplace where we can be cranky old women every night. I look forward to what our friendship will bring in the future. I look forward to racing you in a wheel chair when we’re actually old women. We don’t always need to see each other or talk to each other I know you will always be there for me if I need you. I love you, and I can’t wait to see what life will bring to us.
Love,
Your friend who's like a sister
