A Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
Taylor Markee
"There are friendships imprinted in our hearts that will never be diminished by time and distance" -Dodinsky

Dear long distance best friend,

I still remember messaging you on Facebook on January 19, 2016, while I was babysitting my neighbors. I just remember telling you that I was thinking about you and praying for you. I didn't even know if you remembered me from school, but I knew that you had made an impact on my life from the first day I had met you at the football game, so, I messaged you anyway. It was one of the best decisions I have made. You helped me stay calm when it came to picking a college and you have been there for me through all of the craziness ever since. You are the most loyal friend I have and I will always think of you as a sister. You are such a beautiful person, with such a genuine heart. Without you, I would be lost.

Last summer was one of the best of my life because I got to see you. After flying all day, I was exhausted, but getting off the airplane and being able to run into your arms made me remember just how amazing life can be. It still puts a smile on my face when I think about being reunited with you after a few years. Those happy moments are ones that I still look back on when I am going through rough times. The few days I got to spend with you in Oregon were some of my most favorite days. I cherished every moment while I was with you, knowing that it would be another whole year until I was going to be able to see you again.

Throughout my freshman year of college, you were there for me every time I needed someone to talk to. Whether I was stressed out about a homework assignment, crying because I missed my dad, or lonely, I knew I could always call you no matter what time it was. I always wished you were by my side, but I know you are always in my heart, no matter what I am doing.

This summer I was supposed to see you, but so much stuff got in the way and for that I will continue to apologize. I was so excited to see you, but God had other plans, unfortunately. I looked forward to July 11th for a whole year and I kept a countdown in my dorm room, checking it daily hoping that it would say "In one day you will see Faith". Sadly, my health interfered with that trip, resulting in me having to cancel it. All I can say is, thank you so much for understanding and still supporting me through that hard time in my life. I still get emotional knowing that I did not get to see you. This summer was not an easy one for me, but you continued to text me motivating and caring text messages that helped me more than you will ever know. You stuck by my side no matter how frustrated I was getting over not feeling well. Because of you, I continued to fight this summer. Thank you for continuously praying for me and sending me a prayer on my surgery day when I was completely flipping out. No matter how hard I try, I will never be able to repay for you everything you did for me.

I am so thankful for our friendship and bond that we have made throughout the years. I am so thankful for the conversations we have that always make me laugh and fill my heart with joy. I am so thankful I am able to see you over Facetime even though it isn't the same as it would be in person. Seeing you always makes my hard days a little bit easier. As you have said before, we are indestructible. I love you.

I love you so much sis and I miss you.

All my love,

Tay

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
