To one of my best friends from a different state,
Two years ago we met at MCOLS. Ever since the day I met you, my life has been changed forever. I would not be the same person without you in my life. Thank you for all you have done for me.
Dear (Guy) Friend in Another State,
No matter how many days go by, I still think about the moment we met. I still think about all the fun and stressful moments we shared while we were together. I still remember the feeling I had when I met you. I still remember how you helped me get through so much in such a short time. It's not the same not being able to see you, and it never will be. I always feel like a burden sending a message first, but somehow half the conversations we have end up being hours or days long. I will never not miss you. I will never not remember crying my eyes out the day you left camp early.
The memories we made, the jokes we had, the moments that brought us closer. Nothing and no one can ever replace that. No one can feel the way we felt that week I got to know you. That was the hardest week we've ever gone through because not only were we getting to know each other, but we had to learn how to work together and trust each other. You've been there even after that week. You believed in me and helped me through so many tough situations that came into my life ever since then.
No one in the world could ever replace a human like you. You mean so much to me and we were only together for a few days. You left a mark on so many of us. Many people would say, "Oh, it's just a kid you met at camp, you'll never see or meet him again," but to me you were different because you became my friend when most people would have just been nice for the sake of being nice.
I don't even know if I have the words to thank you for all you have done for me. You've been a listening ear when most people would tell me to shut up or stop complaining or say they are too busy to listen. Thank you for being a part of my life and staying in it when so many people were leaving.
Parting ways was one of the hardest things for both of us. At first the distance was hard. But over time, I realized that the distance actually brought us closer together because it forced us to keep in contact when we couldn't see each other on a regular basis.
I will forever miss you and forever care for you. Thank you for all the fond memories.
Your friend
