I'm thankful for people, and the fact that we don't do this life alone. I'm extra thankful for those who choose to do life with us by choice. Especially those you stick through thick and thin, ups and downs, joys and trials the type of friend who is forever, your person. Maybe we don't say it enough, let people know how thankful we are for them.
Have you thanked your friend lately?
Thank you for having my back, always. Even when I've tried to act tough and be on my own there was comfort knowing you would be there in a heartbeat.
Thank you for being my friend when no one else was. I was the new kid thrown into school and you picked me right up (literally).
Thank you for having my best interest at heart. You've given me tough love when I didn't want it and space to crumble into a million pieces when I needed it.
Thank you for making me part of the family. Birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, grandparents' masses, sleepovers, and lunches with notes in them. I never felt out of place, I was loved.
Thank you for trusting me. For letting me be your secret keeper and confidant and doing the same for me. I always knew it was safe with you.
For loving me like no man ever will. Because you are my soul mate and know me better than anyone else. One day our husbands will understand that.
Thank you for forgiving me. When I've had moments of being a crappy or selfish friend you've taken me back and looked through the muck of being human. (Like that one time in high school? #sorry)
Thank you for laughing at me. Being a reminder that I can't take myself, or this mess of a life too seriously. For giving me laughs and joy in all circumstances.
Thank you for pushing me to Christ. Through guidance and through walking the good fight side by side, you've held me accountable to His promises.
Thank you for being my iron.
Thank you for being my friend.
Call, text, write, snapchat, post it, share it, comment but do whatever it takes to remind your friend that today you are thankful for them. Cause what would we do without them?
