Dear Best Friend,

Thank you.

Thank you for loving me for the crazy, emotional person that I am. When everyone else left, you stayed. When I felt like no one else was on my side, you were there, holding my hand and telling me, "It's going to be OK." When I hit rock bottom, you were there to pick me back up again.

You give the best advice and always know exactly what to say, even if it's not what I want to hear. You can tell if I'm having a bad day, just by looking at me, even if I tell you I'm fine. I never feel like I have to cover up the real me when I'm around you. You know all of my imperfections, mistakes, and insecurities, yet you chose to stick around and love me anyway.

I can't put into words how much that means to me. I've lost many friends in my life, and you stuck by my side through them all. You listen to all my talk about boys and you hold me when I cry about said boy. For a long time, I felt like I had no true friends in my life, but then you came into my life and made me realize that there are still good people in the world. Sometimes, we can go weeks without talking to each other, and other times we can't go 5 minutes without saying something.

There is no one else I'd rather rant about work or talk about how awesome God is. There is no one else I'd want to have a Disney dance party in the car with. There is no one I'd want to get Taco Tuesday with every week. There is no one else I'd want to call me at 11 p.m., just to hear my voice. There is no one else I'd want to have by my side, holding my hand as we go through life.

I'll always be here to listen to your rant about boys, work and, people in general. I'll always be your listening ear, shoulder to cry on, and hand to hold. No matter where life takes you, always remember that I'm going to support you 100 percent of the time.

Never forget your worth, because you are worth more than rubies (Prov. 31:10) Never forget how beautiful you are. Never lose your faith. You mean so much to me and I will never, ever leave you.

I love you with my whole heart. I love you for all that you are, all that you have been, and all that you have yet to be. Thank you for being my best friend and my person. Anyone would be lucky to have you in their life, and I'm so thankful that you chose to be in mine.

Much Love,

Your BFF
