I recently just had to say goodbye to my BEST friend. Not because of something bad that happened but because she has moved to North Carolina. It was not a formal goodbye because we both could not come to believe that we won’t be seeing each other every single day or talking to each other every single day like we use to. I found out this summer that she was moving and I’ve been denying it ever since. So here is a letter for her to know about my feelings:

Dear Kassie,

My BEST friend, my go-to, my Sully to my Mike I miss you. I know that since this summer, when you told me that you were moving deep down we both did not want to believe it was happening. We have grown apart because of the difficulties of dealing with the move and personal issues on both sides but I want you to know that it was never intentional. It was never a validation of the meaning of our friendship or a sign that we were not as close, it was just a way of dealing with the fact that in the next few months I would not be able to just drive to my best friends house and spend hours there watching movies, eating delicious food or just hanging out. That was something I know was going to suck about you moving. But the other day, the day that you moved you sent me a song that really reminded me how much I’m going to miss you and how much I love you. “I’ll See You When I See You” by Jason Aldean was the song and I have listened to it on repeat ever since. This song has given me the another outlook on the move. He sings “Lets don’t say goodbye I hate the way it sounds” is a perfect example of how we have been feeling the past few months. But the truth is, it will never be goodbye for us. We will always come back to our old ways whether it is through the phone or in person because you ARE my person Kassie (Grey’s reference) and I will always be your best friend and you will always be mine. I miss you more than you know and I love you to the back of the moon as Glenda would say. But thats just the thing, no matter if we are in the same time zone or worlds apart you will always be my best friend and I cannot thank you enough for that. Hang in tight and I will see you when I see you

Love Always Your Best Friend,

Bri
