Dear Old Friend,
First of all, let me start this off by saying I hope you are doing well and that I miss you. I miss all the times we had together, all of the memories, and especially all of the laughter. We were together for almost every day for years on end, and honestly, did we ever think it would end? Did we honestly believe that there would be a day where we no longer spoke or asked each other how each other's day was? That the girl I considered my sister would essentially become a complete stranger who I no longer knew nothing about? Because I surely didn't. I never in a million years would have thought we would be where we are today. That when we walk past each other, we no longer hug and say "Hey, wanna come over and hang out later?" But still, I will forever be grateful for the times that we did share together. For all of the road trips, and 2 AM phone calls because neither of us could sleep or we were just having a bad night. I miss being able to walk down to your house when we both got home from school and working on homework together, or staying up all night watching movies and goofing off.
Second, I want to let you know how so very proud I am of you. Proud of you for chasing your dreams and for accomplishing everything you have ever put your mind to, even if I may not have always agreed with everything that you did. You have grown into such an amazing woman and I am glad that I can say I got to watch you grow. From that awkward preteen phase where all we ever listened to was One Direction and Selena Gomez, all the way to me getting my first car and my license and driving us everywhere together.. even if I wasn't the best driver.
Thank you for always standing by my side through thick and thin and for never giving up on me, even after I had given up on myself. For always being my shoulder to cry on and always being a phone call away when I needed someone to rant to. Thank you for helping me learn that it is okay to be outgoing and to never stop pushing myself to go after what I want.
But more thank anything, thank you for teaching me what it was like to no longer have someone around who I was used to seeing everyday. Thank you for being one of the first people to walk away from me, because losing you, taught me so very much. It taught me that I will not always have the I thought I would. That not everyone will always have my best interest at heart. And that people will always come and go in life, but there are a few people who come into my life that will not walk away no matter what.
I'll close with this, I hope you are doing well and I miss you. And please always remember I am only a phone call away.
Sincerely,
An Old Friend.
