Everyone has that special someone who makes them laugh, builds them up, and serves as one of their biggest advocates. If you do not, however, I would strongly encourage you to get out there and find someone who is that person for you. Next to your family, your best friends are the most important people in your life. They will be the people who are not afraid to tell you like it is. They will be the people who are not afraid to be silly and goofy with you. They will be the people who are not afraid to accept you and all of your flaws. They will be the ones who are not afraid to really be your best friends.

There is a statement that goes, “Though friends come and go, best friends stay forever.” This statement holds a special place in my heart because of you. You are my go-to person, my partner in crime, and my confidant. We have been through a lot, but have been thick as thieves through it all. Despite the odds and barriers that were thrown in our paths, we have never allowed anything to stand in the way of our friendship. It was not easy, but I am so glad that we made it work.

When we met, I never would have guessed I would be so close to a friend, but girl, you are so much more than that; you have become another sister to me. We have shared laughs, tears, and made many fun, precious memories that will last us a lifetime. Without you, I can honestly say that I would not be the person I am today.

Our friendship is not your normal friendship; it is one of a kind. We can act weird in front of each other and not even care. We still laugh at those same stupid jokes that used to crack us up when we were teens. We have crazy nicknames for each other that only we get. We tell each other everything: from most embarrassing stories to deepest secrets. We know, and accept, all the good, and not-so-good stuff about each other. Most importantly, we love each other through it all.

God blessed me with the most amazing gift when He sent you. With your love, support, and loyalty, you are the perfect package. We were made for each other. We are best friends. And no matter what, we always will be. I love you, girl.
