Dear best friend I never expected,
Let’s take it back as far as elementary, you were you, I was me. We were as far opposites as the north and south pole. We just never clicked. Of course, as a kid we all kind of pretended to be kind, because we didn’t know at that age how to truly dislike someone. The older we got, the more animosity and hurt would start to show in the “never possible friendship.”
Junior high, every girl’s worst years. I was horrible, I’m the first to admit. My attitude was poor, and my morals were non-existent. I was a witch. You were no sweet angel yourself, (I still love you) in fact, you had become a bit of a witch yourself. I know, maybe I could’ve been kinder, and you could’ve been more accepting. It was a lesson learned.
High school, sweet sweet high school, how I’d love to pretend those years never even happened. I now am ashamed to even think of the girl I was, hateful, awful, and morally corrupt. God should’ve struck me with lightening. But he didn’t. You were smart, maybe your biggest downfall, you became obsessed, and it showed negatively in your personality. You became rude, not only to me but most people. You were selfish and I couldn’t stand you. Partly, because I was overwhelmingly jealous. After all, you were everything I thought I’d never be. I envied you, and it was horrible.
Then it Happened, God Interceded. For the very last time, I came to your “dumb church” only to make fun of you as I’d done before. Unfortunately, yet so fortunately, God had much bigger plans. I felt joy at the service and I came back the very next week. I received the Holy Ghost, and I thank you for supporting me, Jesus is to thank for the relationship he built.
I now can’t imagine not being your best friend. I can’t imagine our random lunch dates, church visits, late night plans and spooky walks not happening. You’ve been by my side for the best and worst days and no matter what have been supportive, I’m so thankful for you. I am so so happy God saw the need in our lives and decided we were meant to be BFF’s. Here’s to a forever friendship
Love,
The friend you never expected.
