To my long-distance best friend,

Just because I don't always see you doesn't mean I don't always think about you.

Just because not all of my friends here know who you are, doesn't mean you're not one of the most important people in my life.

Long distance friendship is usually tough, but not with you. We can go months without talking, and then all of a sudden I get a text from you and we fall right back into our normal rhythm.

You know me better than most people do because we make the most out of the little time we have together. We go on adventures, because we don't have time to waste watching movies, the moments we share are too precious to be spent in silence.

When I met you, I didn't think our friendship would grow into this. Three thousand miles is a lot to handle but it was worth it when I showed up unannounced at your front door or when you told me you were going to fly across the country just to spend the weekend with me.

A lot of people are scared of long-distance. But it's our normal. It's how we've always been. So we embrace it.

You are the moon to my sun, the Meredith to my Cristina, and simply, my better half.

Thank you for going on this journey for me. Thank you for your friendship. Thank you for your love.

Sincerely,

An extremely grateful long-distance best friend
