Everyone at least has had or has one best friend in their life that is absolutely extraordinary. I thankfully still have mine and she is called FEMTP on my phone. Many of you probably wonder what that means. It is a nickname that I came up with one day amidst our all caps lock conversations which stands for "Future Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic."

My best friend works as an EMT and is one of the strongest women I have ever known in this lifetime. She works almost every day driving around the city of Springfield saving people's lives. She constantly busts her butt at her school work to earn nearly perfect grades, spends time supporting her little brother during football games, and still makes time to cause some sort of trouble with me. (I.e. we sit around and eat pizza, we're wild animals.)

She also is one of the people who protect me regardless of what the situation may entail. If a boy hurt my feelings, she is the first one there to tell me "I told you he was bad news" or she tells me "You were too beautiful for him anyway." Her heart is so full of love and joy that I am eternally grateful to know.

Also, she is the first person to come up with a sarcastic joke to me as we go back and forth. She usually wins because of her New York wit and humor. She never seems to miss a beat when you try to joke with her as well. Her jokes are the combination of a perfectly subtle insult (not meant to be malicious whatsoever) and sarcasm.

Kelsea my dear. I never get to say thank you to you enough for what you do for me. You keep me grounded, support me constantly, and remind me that I am an amazing person regardless of what life throws at me. You know I could ramble on and on about everything you do for me. So for the sake of what I tell you daily, I'll keep this short and sweet.

Thank you for your heart and soul, thank you for being my best friend.

With love,

Beezy.
