Hey you,

Our story begins way back in first grade, and the end is unknown. This past weekend I watched you get married. Watching you walk down the aisle and move forward with your life makes me reminisce all the amazing memories we shared.

I'll start by thanking you. Thank you for being the best first best friend I could have asked for. We lost touch after first grade because I switched schools, but that was no road block to our friendship. We reconnected when we played wreck softball together, and I'll never forget the season that your dad called me 'Katlin' because they misspelled my name on my shirt.

Throughout high school, even though we didn't go to the same school, you invited me on your annual church retreat. There was no other way I could imagine spending those weekends. We always end up spending so much time apart and then playing catch up when we're together. Miraculously, the world has kept us connected, and I'm more than thankful for that. We haven't seen each other much recently, but I've always known you were just a text away.

These past 15 or 16 years that I've known you have been nothing but memorable. Thank you for all the memories that we share, I'll cherish them forever.

Now, I pray that you have a happy and healthy life with your husband. I pray for only the best for you.

I hope we can catch up soon.

Sincerely,

A friend who wishes she was around more
