My high school best friend, the girl who turned 21 and was pregnant with my nephew, and now the new cute mommy, you amaze me every day. I don’t know how you do what you do but every day you still seem to amaze me.

People say that best friends drift once they graduate high school and are on to bigger and better things, but those people are wrong. You not only graduated high school two years before me but you also joined the Coast Guard and live in a different state than I do. We may not talk every day but when we do its like we never stopped talking. You don’t need to talk to that one best friend everyday to know that they are still there and care.

I never thought I’d like you being in the Coast Guard and being away but, now that you are I see how much good it has done for you. Every time we talk it’s like you’re only a few minutes away. Every time I see you a tear comes to my eye because of how excited I am to finally see you after so long apart. We always seem to get through the long times apart even though it doesn’t feel like long once we actually do see each other.

I have always told you that you are the older sister that I always wanted and gained my freshman year of high school. We have gone through so much together. Now you have a beautiful baby boy who runs your life but you never complain. That little man completed your life; the little man that I am so lucky to call my nephew. Soon you will be back here to visit with him and I cannot wait. Waiting to see you is like waiting for snow in the middle of summer, but somehow it always comes. I love you all so much, seeing all of you is going to be just perfect!
